Race and Immigration in the New Ireland

Back Cover

“This collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the complex global interplay of race, migration, citizenship, and nationality that so irresistibly shapes the contemporary moment. Bringing together a remarkable range of essays on topics as varied as race theory, sports culture, language politics, the role of gender in immigration policy, and the ongoing social and political legacies of Northern Ireland’s partition, the volume offers thoughtful reexaminations of an Ireland we may have thought we knew along with insightful analyses of how Ireland’s palimpsestic relationship to migration sheds new light on pressing questions about race, globalization, and mobility that extend far beyond Irish shores. This is a book that is sorely needed.” — MARK QUIGLEY, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON “Race and Immigration in the New Ireland is ideal reading material for teachers in need of a solid text on contemporary Ireland. There is nothing comparable in the existing literature.” — KEVIN WHELAN, DIRECTOR OF THE KEOUGHNAUGHTON NOTRE DAME CENTRE, DUBLIN, IRELAND “Race and Immigration in the New Ireland presents a wide range of insights on the ethical challenges and possibilities of the post–Celtic Tiger Ireland. Together, the essays here offer an open and constructive debate within the social frame of Irish Studies. This book emphasizes the critical importance of the moral imagination in shaping the evolution of state policy in the ongoing contexts of migration, diaspora, and global markets that have marked recent Irish history.” — FIONNGHUALA SWEENEY, UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL CONTRIBUTORS: Pablo Rojas Coppari, Mike Cronin, Steve Garner, Luke Gibbons, Ronit Lentin, Robbie McVeigh, Verona Ní Dhrisceoil, Pádraig Ó Riagáin, Mary Robinson, and Julieann Veronica Ulin.
