Özet, vb.
"This volume gathers over forty world-class scholars to explore the dynamics that have shaped the Irish experience in America from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. From the early 1600s to the present, over 10 million Irish people emigrated to various points around the globe. Of them, more than six million settled in what we now call the United States of America. Some were emigrants, some were exiles, and some were refugees--but they all brought with them habits, ideas, and beliefs from Ireland, which played a role in shaping their new home. Organized chronologically, the chapters in this volume offer a cogent blend of historical perspectives from the pens of some of the world's leading scholars. Each section explores multiple themes including gender, race, identity, class, work, religion and politics. This book also offers essays that examine the literary and/or artistic production of each era. These studies not only investigate how Irish America saw itself or, in turn, was seen, but also how the historical moment influenced cultural representation. It demonstrates the ways in which Irish Americans have connected with other groups, such as African Americans and Native Americans, and sets "Irish America" in the context of the global Irish diaspora. This book will be of value to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as instructors and scholars interested in American History, Immigration History, Irish Studies, and Ethnic Studies more broadly"-- Provided by publisher.
