First edition. ix+246 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in like dustjacket. The Irish have emigrated in vast numbers for centuries. More than any other Europeans they have been obliged to transplant, maintain and develop a national culture in novel, indifferent or hostile surroundings. This series of six books is an account of their various experiences all over the world. It is a comprehensive synthesis - drawing on history, geography, social science, and studies of literature, music and the arts to provide a detailed picture of the experience of migration and assimiliation over the centuries to the present day. Thus the series represents a major contribution both to migration studies and to the history of Ireland and the many countries in which the Irish have settled. This third volume of the series on the migration of the Irish throughout the world is a study of the artistic and intellectual changes wrought on migrants by their new societies, and the effects on the home culture of Irish immigration.
