Description
Migration--people moving in as immigrants, around as migrants, and out as emigrants--is a major theme of Irish history. These three migratory flows are usually considered in isolation and in relation to specific periods. This is the first book to offer both a survey of the last four centuries and an integrated analysis of migration, reflecting a more inclusive definition of the 'people of Ireland'. Readers are introduced to a rich and varied array of primary source material, the relevant secondary literature and key historical debates.
