-
- Política
Joan Walsh is a national affairs correspondent for The Nation and a CNN political contributor. She is also the author of What’s the Matter With White People? Finding Our Way in the Next America, which the Philadelphia Daily News called “one of the best books of 2012 – and even more relevant now.” In the book she “charts growing political divisions in the US through the story of her extended working-class New York, Irish Catholic family”. The book is “a family and political memoir that maps the fears and the aspirations of white ethnic Americans.”
In the sixth episode of “The Last Hurrah”, Liam and Scott talk to Joan Walsh about her Irish Catholic family and childhood, the divisions within Irish America and the future of Irish America and the Democratic Party.
