Book excerpt: An indepth look at Joseph Cowen--newspaper magnate, radical activist, and member of parliament for the Liberal party--this compilation brings together ethnic and urban studies, and considers the role of the press in building a radical power base. During his political career, Cowen drew upon a coalition of support from working-class associations, the Irish community, and regional interest groups, and this study of his life describes how he remarkably championed the cause of the underdog.
