Life history and the Irish migrant experience offers a fresh
perspective on the significance of England's largest post-war
migrant group for current debates on identity and difference in
contemporary Britain. The first book to apply Popular Memory Theory
to the Irish Diaspora, it opens new lines of critical enquiry
within scholarship on the Irish in modern Britain. Combining
innovative use of migrant life histories with cultural
representations of the post-war Irish experience, it interrogates
the interaction between lived experience, personal memory and
cultural myth to further understanding of the work of memory in the
production of migrant subjectivities. Based on richly
contextualised case studies addressing experiences of emigration,
urban life, work, religion, and the Troubles in England, chapters
shed new light on the collective fantasies of post-war migrants and
the circumstances that formed them. -- .
