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 years since the onset of Ireland's Great Famine, historians have intensely scrutinized the causes, the year-by-year events, and the consequences of his human catastrophe. Who was to blame? Were the hunger and misery inevitable? Did the famine have revolutionary effects on the Irish economy? How did it change the nature of Irish religion? This new study complements the wealth of existing literature on the social, cultural, and political aspects of the Famine and invites the reader to consider the fate of the Irish refugees in their new home lands.IrelandHistoryFamine, 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.1966-1612185DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910819067803321Fleeing the famine3940842UNINA
