Contributors from many disciplines deal with consequences of Ireland's Great Famine from a variety of viewpoints. Twelve papers, one of which came from an October 1993 symposium held in Los Angeles (the others were solicited for this volume), address subjects that include women and the Great Famine, the transfer of land and the emergence of the graziers, the Famine as a catalyst in Irish traditional music making, Irish emigration, American newspaper coverage, and the role of the Irish-American press in the early 20th century. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From the Back Cover:
Between 1845 and 1855, nearly 1.5 million Irish women, men, and children sailed to America to escape the Great Famine, triggered by successive years of potato blight. The famine and resulting emigration had a profound impact not only on the history of Ireland, but on that of England and North America as well. This volume of original essays commemorates the 150th anniversary of these epochal events and sheds new light on both the consequences of the famine and the experience of the Irish in America.
About the Author:

Ruth-Ann M. Harris is adjunct professor of history and Irish studies at Boston College.
