Publisher's Synopsis
'Migration and the Making of Ireland' richly explores accounts of migrant experiences across more than four countries. The motivations that drove migration to Ireland and emigration from Ireland since the Plantation of Ulster are assessed. Poltical, economic and legal circumstances that made emigration and immigration possible or necessary are considered. Commonalities and differences across space and time between the experiences of incoming and outgoing migrants, with a strong emphasis on the recent waves of immigration that are reshaping 21st century Ireland, are deeply explored.
