Irish Migrants in New Communities: Seeking the Fair Land? examines the interactions of Irish migrants and the new societies and experiences that opened up to them through the process of emigration and exile. The contributors' chapters focus on oral history perspectives to examine the adaptation of the migrants to these new environments and cultures and to chronicle the experience of "Irishness" outside of Ireland itself.
