Addressing questions about what it means to be 'British' or 'Irish'
in the twenty-first century, this book focuses its attention on
twentieth-century Northern Ireland and demonstrates how the
fragmented and disparate nature of national identity shaped and
continues to shape responses to social issues such as immigration.
Immigrants moved to Northern Ireland in their thousands during the
twentieth century, continuing to do so even during three decades of
the Troubles, a violent and bloody conflict that cost over 3,600
lives. Foregrounding the everyday lived experiences of settlers in
this region, this ground-breaking book comparatively examines the
perspectives of Italian, Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese migrants in
Northern Ireland, outlining the specific challenges of migrating to
this small, intensely divided part of the UK. The book explores
whether it was possible for migrants and minorities to remain
'neutral' within an intensely politicised society and how internal
divisions affected the identity and belonging of later generations.
An analysis of diversity and immigration within this divided
society enhances our understanding of the forces that can shape
conceptions of national insiders and outsiders - not just in the UK
and Ireland - but across the world. It provokes and addresses a
range of questions about how conceptions of nationality, race,
culture and ethnicity have intersected to shape attitudes towards
migrants. In doing so, the book invites scholars to embrace a more
diverse, 'four-nation' approach to UK immigration studies, making
it an essential read for all those interested in the history of
migration in the UK.
