Description

Migration and the Making of Ireland This book richly explores accounts of migrant experiences across more than four centuries in Ireland. It examines the motivations that drove migration to Ireland and emigration from Ireland, as well as the political, economic, and legal circumstances that made these movements possible or necessary. The book considers commonalities and differences between the experiences of incoming and outgoing migrants, with a strong emphasis on recent waves of immigration shaping twenty-first century Irish society. It delves into the stories of various migrant groups, including seventeenth-century settlers, eighteenth-century German Palatine immigrants, Jews who arrived during the late nineteenth century, and many others. By examining these diverse experiences, the book sheds light on broader trends and cross-cutting themes, such as the role of family and communities in shaping migration decisions, the impact of law on freedom of movement, and economic factors that influence migration choices.
