This volume hopes to act as a catalyst for some new and exciting
areas of enquiry in the more "liminal" interstices of Irish
Studies, Traveller Studies, Romani Studies and Diaspora and
Migration Studies. These disciplines are all relatively new areas
of enquiry in modern Ireland, a country whose society has witnessed
very rapid and wide-ranging cultural and demographic change within
the short space of a decade. The issue of multiculturalism is not
one which is particularly new to Irish society as a number of
contributors to this volume point out. What is new however is an
increased acknowledgement of diversity and multiculturalism in
Ireland and Europe as a whole. Such an acknowledgement makes
increased dialogue between "mainstream" society, older minorities
such as the Irish Travellers and the many newer immigrant
communities such as the Roma all the more necessary. For such
constructive dialogue to take place it is vital that migratory
peoples and their particular expressions of postcolonial identity
be voiced and valued. These identities are both complex and diverse
and frequently straddle a number of countries and national
identities. It is hoped that this volume will go some way towards
the cultivation of such dialogue.
