In __An Irish Working Class__, Marilyn Silverman explores the dynamics of capitalism, colonialism, and state formation through an examination of the political economy and culture of those who contributed their labour. Stemming from the author's academic research on Ireland for over two decades, the book combines archival data, interviews, and participant observation to create a unique and intricate study of labourers' lives in Thomastown, County Kilkenny, between 1800 and 1950. Political anthropology, Gramscian approaches to hegemony, and the work of social historians on class experience all inform Silverman's perspective in this volume.

The author explores the changing consciousness, politics and social relations of those who were employed in the mills, tanneries, artisanal shops and retail outlets and on the estates, farms and public works projects in Thomastown, southeastern Ireland between 1800 and 1950.
