The relationship between Ireland and the diversity of its diasporas
has always been complex and multi-layered, but it is not until
recently that this reality has really been acknowledged in the
public sphere and indeed, amongst the scholarly community
generally. This reality is partly a consequence of both
"push-and-pull" factors and the relatively late arrival of
globalization trends to the island of Ireland itself, situated as
it is on the Atlantic seaboard between Europe and the US. Ireland
is changing however, some would say at an unprecedented speed as
compared with many of its neighbours, and the sense of Irish
identity and connection to the home country is changing too. What
is the relationship of Ireland and the Irish with its diaspora
communities and how is this articulated? The voices who speak in
New Perspectives on the Irish Abroad: The Silent People?, edited by
Micheal O hAodha and Mairtin O Cathain, "talk back" to Ireland and
Ireland talks to them, and it is in telling that we see a new
story, an emerging discourse-the narratives of the "hidden" Irish,
the migrant Irish, the diaspora whose voices and refrains were
hitherto neglected or subject to silence.
