He also wrote a book on antebellum northern xenophobia against Irish immigrants, How the Irish Became White. His publisher called him as "one of America's leading and most controversial historians".[2]
Ignatiev died from an intestine infection at a hospital in Tucson, Arizona on November 9, 2019 at the age of 78.[3]
