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 yearsIrelandHistoryFamine, 1845-1852Irish AmericansHistory19th centuryIrishMigrationsHistory19th centuryIrishCanadaHistory19th centuryRefugeesCanadaHistory19th centuryRefugeesUnited StatesHistory19th centuryCanadaEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryIrelandEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryIrelandHistoryIrish AmericansHistoryIrishMigrationsHistoryIrishHistoryRefugeesHistoryRefugeesHistory304.8/730415/09034Mulrooney Margaret M.1966-1569902DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910777586803321Fleeing the famine3843109UNINA
