Thesis (M.A.)--Western Illinois University, 2016.

In this thesis, I combine labor and political history to investigate the solidification of the Chicago Irish national identity through imagined communities, which I argue created an ethnic voting bloc that generated the Democratic Party's power structure in the municipal government. By reviewing the rich scholarship on the Chicago Irish as well as printed primary sources, including the Chicago Tribune and the Citizen, I fill a void left by political historians regarding the creation of the Irish voting bloc---their premise being that the Irish were a naturally cohesive ethnic group. However, labor historians present the Irish regional divides that carried over from their homeland and were the source of intra-ethnic fighting. To address the transformation of the Irish into a cohesive ethnic group, I incorporate Benedict Anderson's theories on nationalism. The Irish nationalistic sentiments forged the beginnings of an Irish American identity that later translated into a cohesive bloc electorate.
