Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the nineteenth-century migration of 4.5 million Irish people, examining how this mass exodus influenced a transnational identity that persists today. Cian T. McMahon utilizes primary sources from Ireland, Australia, and the United States to illustrate how the Irish maintained loyalty to both their homeland and their new countries. This dual allegiance contributed to a unique sense of nationalism and expanded the concepts of citizenship and identity in the modern world.
