This collection of essays demonstrates in vivid detail how a range
of formal and informal networks shaped the Irish experience of
emigration, settlement and the construction of ethnic identity in a
variety of geographical contexts since 1750. It examines topics as
diverse as the associational culture of the Orange Order in the
nineteenth century to the role of transatlantic political networks
in developing and maintaining a sense of diaspora, all within the
overarching theme of the role of networks. This volume represents a
pioneering study that contributes to wider debates in the history
of global migration, the first of its kind for any ethnic group,
with conclusions of relevance far beyond the history of Irish
migration and settlement. It is also expected that the volume will
have resonance for scholars working in parallel fields, not least
those studying different ethnic groups, and the editors
contextualise the volume with this in mind in their introductory
essay.
This book was previously published as a special issue of
Immigrants and Minorities.
