In contrast to previous studies, which have tended to focus on only one destination, this collection allows readers to evaluate the experience of transatlantic Famine refugees in a comparative context. Featuring new and innovative scholarship by both established and emerging scholars of Irish America and Irish Canada, it carefully dissects the connection that arose between Ireland and North America during the famine years (1845-1851).||In the more than 150 yearsIrish AmericansHistory19th centuryIrishMigrationsHistory19th centuryIrishCanadaHistory19th centuryRefugeesCanadaHistory19th centuryRefugeesUnited StatesHistory19th centuryIrelandHistoryFamine, 1845-1852CanadaEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryIrelandEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryElectronic books.Irish AmericansHistoryIrishMigrationsHistoryIrishHistoryRefugeesHistoryRefugeesHistory304304.8/730415/09034Mulrooney Margaret M.1966-966702MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452011903321Fleeing the famine2193851UNINA
