Migration in Irish History 1607-2007

Migration--people moving in as immigrants, around as migrants, and out as emigrants--is a major theme of Irish history. This is the first book to offer both a survey of the last four centuries and an integrated analysis of migration, reflecting a more inclusive definition of the "people of Ireland."
