What does it mean to be of Irish descent? What does Irish descent
stand for in Ireland? In Northern Ireland? In the United States?
How are the categories of "native" and "settler" and accounts of
ethnic origin being refigured through popular genealogy and
population genetics? Of Irish Descent addresses these questions by
exploring the contemporary significance of ideas about ancestral
roots, origins, and connections. Moving from the intimacy of family
stories and reunions to disputed state policies on noble titles and
new applications of genetic research, Nash traces the place of
ancestry in interconnected geographies of identity-familial,
ethnic, national, and diasporic. Underlying these different
practices and narratives are potent and profoundly political
questions about who counts as Irish and to whom Ireland belongs.
Examining tensions between ideas of plurality and commonality,
difference and connection that run through the culture and science
of ancestral origins, Of Irish Descent is an original and timely
exploration of new configurations of nation and diaspora as
communities of shared descent.
