This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and
outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic
identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots
identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What
characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves
and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change
over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues
of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand,
descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins,
spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in
indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history
societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing
ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars
and students of the history of empire and the construction of
identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the
history of New Zealand. -- .
