Opis

Reasons why people leave Ireland are integral to the§discourse of Irish migration. Notions of exile or§forced migration predominate to such an extent that§there is barely room for other ideas. The validity of§exile or forced migration concepts are threatened if§the gradual emergence of a migration culture is§acknowledged. Using a case study of Irish migrants to§Western Australia post-1945, the existence of a§migration culture is examined and reinforced by§evidence from the survey group. Associated with the§idea of choosing rather than being forced to leave§Ireland, the book also focuses on the influence of§destination as a positive factor in migration. This§is in contrast to the more common focus on loss when§leaving Ireland favoured by writers about the§diaspora. In an Australian context, the book examines§Irish migrants and their connection to their chosen§country in addition to their disconnection from§Ireland. This innovative analysis moves the debate§about causation of Irish migration away from§nineteenth century concepts. It will be of interest§to both scholars and members of the Irish diaspora.
