Full Description

Frank Roney: Irish Rebel and California Labor Leader, edited by Ira B. Cross, presents the remarkable autobiography of a nineteenth-century immigrant who bridged the struggles of two worlds. Born in Belfast in 1841 and shaped by early involvement in Ireland's nationalist movements, Roney carried with him to the United States a deep commitment to workers' rights and social justice. His narrative spans his apprenticeship in Belfast's foundries, his role as a Fenian revolutionary, and his eventual prominence in San Francisco's labor movement during the turbulent 1880s. Through his eyes we see the transatlantic currents of republicanism and labor radicalism converge, illuminating how one man's ideals traveled across borders to animate new struggles for economic and political freedom.

Edited with an extensive introduction and notes by economic historian Ira B. Cross, the volume situates Roney's story within the broader context of California's distinctive labor history. Cross highlights Roney's leadership during an era of intense conflict over wages, hours, and especially immigration, when Irish and American-born workers confronted the arrival of Chinese labor and the disruptive forces of industrial capitalism. Roney emerges as both idealist and pragmatist: an organizer who sacrificed comfort and stability for the cause of collective emancipation, and a thinker whose personal struggles mirrored the contradictions of his time. This rare first-person account offers scholars of labor, immigration, and transnational radicalism an invaluable window into the making of working-class politics on the Pacific Coast.
