This volume takes inspiration from Professor Catherine Shannon's
scholarship on Modern Irish and Irish American history and her
advocacy for peace in Northern Ireland and features original
research by distinguished scholars and social-justice activists on
both sides of the Atlantic. The essays illuminate the historical
relationship between Ireland and North America over past centuries.
They offer new readings of the transatlantic crosscurrents that
shape our understanding of Irish emigration and North American
settlement, and constructions of ethnic Irish identities. This
collection brings together respected Irish, British, American, and
Canadian historians, literary scholars, and social-justice
activists to address the following thematic approaches to the Irish
and Irish American historical experience: Famine impact and legacy;
Boston Irish political culture; Irish Revolution-era nationalist
activism; Northern Ireland conflict. Considered from a range of
historical, literary, political, and cultural perspectives, the
essays collected here examine crucial forces connecting the
ancestral home and the adopted homeland over centuries of Irish
migration and North American settlement. They revise traditional
depictions of ethnic Irishness in explorations of the Famine's
consequence, ethnic Irish prominence in Boston, the 1916-era
watershed, and Northern Ireland's troubled political and cultural
landscape--lenses that expose crucial historical navigations across
the Irish Atlantic. These new readings of the evolution of the
ethnic identity collectively generate a major contribution to
modern Irish and Irish American historical scholarship.
