Brand: ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD
Product Description
Irelands Great Famine in IrishAmerican History Enshrining a Fateful Memory offers a new concise interpretation of the history of the Irish in America. Author and distinguished professor Mary Kellys book is the first synthesized volume to track Irelands Great Famine within Americas immigrant history and to consider the impact of the Famine on Irish ethnic identity between the mid1800s and the end of the twentieth century. Moving beyond traditional emphases on IrishAmerican cornerstones such as church party and education the book maps the Famines legacy over a century and a half of settlement and assimilation. This is the first attempt to contextualize a painful memory that has endured fitfully and unquestionably throughout IrishAmerican historical experience. show more
