Global Legacies of the Great Irish Famine : Transnational and Interdisciplinary Perspectives, Paperback / softback Book

Global Legacies of the Great Irish Famine : Transnational and Interdisciplinary Perspectives Paperback / softback

Edited by Lindsay Janssen, Marguerite Corporaal, Christopher Cusack, Lindsay Janssen

Part of the Reimagining Ireland series

Paperback / softback

Description

The 150th anniversary of Ireland’s Great Famine in the 1990s generated a significant increase in scholarship on the history of the crisis and its social and cultural aftermath.

Two decades later, interest in the Irish Famine – both scholarly and popular – has soared once again.

A key event in Irish cultural memory, the crisis still crops up regularly in public discourse within Ireland and among the Irish diaspora.

This volume, containing essays by distinguished scholars such as Peter Gray, Margaret Kelleher and Chris Morash, offers new perspectives on the Famine and its contexts.

Addressing the challenges and opportunities for Irish Famine studies today, the book presents a stimulating dialogue between a wide range of disciplinary approaches to the Famine and its legacies.
