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. 606 $aIreland$xHistory$yFamine, 1845-1852 606 $aIrish Americans$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aIrish$xMigrations$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aIrish$zCanada$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aRefugees$zCanada$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aRefugees$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aIreland$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aIreland$xHistory 615 0$aIrish Americans$xHistory 615 0$aIrish$xMigrations$xHistory 615 0$aIrish$xHistory 615 0$aRefugees$xHistory 615 0$aRefugees$xHistory 676 $a304.8/730415/09034 701 $aMulrooney$b Margaret M.$f1966-$01612185 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819067803321 996 $aFleeing the famine$93940842 997 $aUNINA
