New
Directions in Irish-American History
Edited by Kevin Kenny
History
of Ireland and the Irish Diaspora
James S. Donnelly, Jr., and Thomas Archdeacon, Series Editors
Innovative, interdisciplinary perspectives
on Irish-American studies
The writing of Irish American history
has been transformed since the 1960s. This volume demonstrates
how scholars from many disciplines are addressing not only issues
of emigration, politics, and social class but also race, labor,
gender, representation, historical memory, and return (both literal
and symbolic) to Ireland. This recent scholarship embraces Protestants
as well as Catholics, incorporates analysis from geography, sociology,
and literary criticism, and proposes a genuinely transnational
framework giving attention to both sides of the Atlantic. This
book combines two special issues of the journal Éire-Ireland
with additional new material.
The contributors
include Tyler Anbinder, Thomas J. Archdeacon, Bruce D. Boling,
Maurice J. Bric, Mary P. Corcoran, Mary E. Daly, Catherine M.
Eagan, Ruth-Ann M. Harris, Diane M. Hotten-Somers, William Jenkins,
Patricia Kelleher, Líam Kennedy, Linda McCarriston, Kerby
A. Miller, Harvey O'Brien, Matthew J. O'Brien, Timothy M. O'Neil,
and Fionnghuala Sweeney.
Kevin Kenny is associate professor in the Department of
History and in Irish Studies at Boston College. He is author
of The American Irish: A History and Making Sense of
the Molly Maguires.
