Sommario/riassunto |
|
Ireland's Great Famine in Irish-American History: Enshrining a Fateful Memory recasts traditional approaches to the Irish experience in America in a striking new reading of the history. This is the first compact synthesis to place Ireland's Great Famine at the heart of the modern ethnic narrative, and to explore the Famine's Irish-American legacy as a key factor in its course. |
