Read moreIreland’s most recent experience of ethnic demographic change through inward migration. This is an important collection of critical work, signalling new areas of concern in the study of Ireland’s multi-faceted experience of migration." —Canadian Journal of Irish Studies "The selection of material contained in this valuable contribution to the field of Irish and migration studies offers a breadth of perspectives that supports the editors' objective of broadening the concept of Irish identity, and provides a snapshot of the island of Ireland at a time of significant change." —Irish Studies Review “. . . a strong collection of essays entering, if not starting, a pertinent conversation about the changing demographics of Ireland and the post-Celtic Tiger immigrant struggles. The landscape of Ireland has changed dramatically over the last two decades and Race and Immigration in the New Ireland provides an informative and insightful introduction as to how Ireland and Irish identity can be shaped in the years ahead.” —New Hibernia Review “Race and Immigration in the New Ireland analyzes modern Ireland’s struggles with the issues of immigration, looking at both halves of the Irish nation and their unique approaches to these critical issues that grow ever more intriguing and important. From women’s issues, religious concerns, the place of language, and the presence of racism, [this book] is a strongly recommended addition to social and international issues collections.” —Library Bookwatch "Race and Immigration in the New Ireland presents a wide range of insights on the ethical challenges and possibilities of the post–Celtic Tiger Ireland. Together, the essays here offer an open and constructive debate within the social frame of Irish Studies. This book emphasizes the critical importance of the moral imagination in shaping the evolution of state policy in the ongoing contexts of migration, diaspora, and global markets that have marked recent Irish history." —Fionnghuala Sweeney, University of Liverpool "Race and Immigration in the New Ireland is ideal reading material for teachers in need of a solid text on contemporary Ireland. There is nothing comparable in the existing literature." —Kevin Whelan, Director of the Keough-Naughton Notre Dame Centre, Dublin, Ireland "This collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the complex global interplay of race, migration, citizenship, and nationality that so irresistibly shapes the contemporary moment. Bringing together a remarkable range of essays on topics as varied as race theory, sports culture, language politics, the role of gender in immigration policy, and the ongoing social and political legacies of Northern Ireland’s partition, the volume offers thoughtful reexaminations of an Ireland we may have thought we knew along with insightful analyses of how Ireland’s palimpsestic relationship to migration sheds new light on pressing questions about race, globalization, and mobility that extend far beyond Irish shores. This is a book that is sorely needed." —Mark Quigley, University of Oregon Show Less
