Ireland in the World

This edited volume views Ireland''s place in the world, from the 18th century to the present, from a number of methodological perspectives. Deploying diverse sources - including interviews, press reports, convict records, wills, letters, diaries and social media - and spanning the globe from Ireland itself to Scotland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the British Empire more broadly - the volume explores issues such as landlordism, slavery, convicts, policing, loyalism, nationalism, Orangeism, sectarianism, Catholic print culture, politics, and emotion, to provide a panoramic and also quite specific picture of the Irish diaspora.

This international edited book collection of ten original contributions from established and emerging scholars explores aspects of Ireland’s place in the world since the 1780s. It imaginatively blends comparative, transnational, and personal perspectives to examine migration in a range of diverse geographical locations including Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Argentina, Jamaica, and the British Empire more broadly. Deploying diverse sources including letters, interviews, press reports, convict records, and social media, contributors canvas important themes such as slavery, convicts, policing, landlordism, print culture, loyalism, nationalism, sectarianism, politics, and electronic media. A range of perspectives including Catholic and Protestant, men and women, convicts and settlers are included, and the volume is accompanied by a range of striking images.
