| Summary |
This book, the first to apply Popular Memory Theory to the Irish Diaspora, opens new lines of critical enquiry within scholarship on the Irish in modern Britain. Combining innovative use of migrant life histories with cultural representations of the post-war Irish experience, it interrogates the interaction between lived experience, personal memory and cultural myth to further understanding of the work of memory in the production of migrant subjectivities. 0Shedding new light on the collective fantasies of post-war migrants, as well as the personal dynamics of subjective change, 'Life history' illuminates how migrants' 'recompose' the self in response to the transition between cultures and places. 0This book will be essential reading for academics and students researching modern British and Irish social and cultural history, ethnic and migration studies, oral history and memory studies, cultural studies and human geography. |
