Böcker i History of Ireland & the Irish Diaspora-serien

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, labour, gender, representation and historical memory.

Drawing on more than 90 newspapers, this is a detailed analysis of British press coverage of Ireland over the course of the 19th century. It traces the evolution of popular understandings and proposed solutions to the ""Irish question,"" focusing particularly on the interrelationship between the press, the public, and the politicians.

Between 1922 and 1966 - most of the first fifty years after independence - the population of Ireland was falling, in the 1950s as rapidly as in the 1880s. This book examines not just the reasons for the decline, but the responses to it by politicians, academics, journalists, churchmen, and others who agonized over their nation's ""slow failure.
