A gothic, lyrical evocation of a shipwreck, ghosts, and lost-and
found-love in a North Shore town Jack Cooper, last in a long family
line of fishermen, lives alone in the remote North Shore town of
Greyshore, haunted by grief. But he will discover what it means to
be truly haunted when a ghostly woman appears to lure him to land's
end, to the beckoning waves that have broken his heart. In a tale
weird and whimsical, as familiar as folklore and as strange as life
itself, musical artists Chan Poling and Lucy Michell create a world
where even the most hardened soul has to see that grief may be
tough, but life is tougher. As Jack's childhood friend, the loyal
and endlessly optimistic Red, tries to counter the ghost's allure,
the story exerts its own charm, guiding us through a landscape of
prose and pictures at once irreverent and dead serious. Though the
book's surreal seduction might call to mind the likes of Wes
Anderson, Edward Gorey, or the Decemberists, it is, finally, Poling
and Michell's singular accomplishment, an enchanting imaginative
leap into life's haunted depths.
Immigrants as outsiders in the two Irelands examines how a wide
range of immigrant groups who settled in the Republic of Ireland
and in Northern Ireland since the 1990s are faring today. It asks
to what extent might different immigrant communities be understood
as outsiders in both jurisdictions. Chapters include analyses of
the specific experiences of Polish, Filipino, Muslim, African,
Roma, refugee and asylum seeker populations and of the experiences
of children, as well as analyses of the impacts of education,
health, employment, housing, immigration law, asylum policy, the
media and the contemporary politics of borders and migration on
successful integration. The book is aimed at general readers
interested in understanding immigration and social change and at
students in areas including sociology, social policy, human
geography, politics, law and psychology. -- .
