Irish Migrants in Modern Britain, 1750-1922
Description
An important aspect of this story concerns those who settled in Britain and the often adverse reactions to them. Emigration affected Ireland deeply, but it also had an important impact upon the way Britain perceived itself in this period. Donald MacRaild studies the impact of immigration throughout the period from 1750, as Ireland became an increasingly full (though disadvantaged) part of the United Kingdom, to the final parting of the ways in 1922, when the Irish Free State was formed.
