Description

Ethnic associations were once vibrant features of societies, such as the United States and Canada, which attracted large numbers of immigrants.

While the transplanted cultural lives of the Irish, Scots and continental Europeans have received much attention, the English are far less widely explored.

It is assumed the English were not an ethnic community, that they lacked the alienating experiences associated with immigration and thus possessed few elements of diasporas.

This deeply researched new book questions this assumption.

It shows that English associations once were widespread, taking hold in colonial America, spreading to Canada and then encompassing all of the empire.

Celebrating saints days, expressing pride in the monarch and national heroes, providing charity to the national poor, and forging mutual aid societies mutual, were all features of English life overseas. -- .
