Recent studies of the experiences of Irish migrants in Victorian
Britain have emphasized the significance of the themes of change,
continuity, resistance and accommodation in the creation of a rich
and diverse migrant culture within which a variety of Irish
identities co-existed and sometimes competed. In contributing to
this burgeoning historiography, this book explores and analyses the
complexities surrounding the self-identity of the Irish in
Victorian Britain, which differed not only from place to place and
from one generation to another but which were also variously shaped
by issues of class and gender, and politics and religion. Moreover,
and given the tendency for Irish ethnicity to mutate, through a
comparative study of the Irish in Britain and the United States,
the book suggests that in order to preserve their Irishness, the
Irish often had to change it. Written by some of the foremost
scholars in the field, these original essays not only shed new
light on the history of the Irish in Britain but are also integral
to the broader study of the Irish Diaspora and of immigrants and
minorities in multicultural societies. This book was previously
published as a special issue of Immigrants and Minorities.
