Irish Emigrant Experience in Australia, The

This collection of essays represents a major contribution to our understanding of Irish-Australian history. A group of international scholars investigate the Irish origins and Australian outcomes of Irish emigration to the Antipodes since the departure of the first Irish convict ship from Cork in 1791. The book vividly illustrates the way in which emigration responded to circumstances at both ends of the migrant chain. 279 p. ; 22 cm. #0821
