About This Item
Toronto / Belfast: P. D .Meany Company / The Institute of Irish Studies, 1993. 1st ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), tables, figures, maps, minor edgewear jacket (front flap creased), top of spine little creased, light foxing edges, tiny bump top edge front cover, written dedication (perhaps autograph). 319 pp. Donald Harman Akenson writes the first book to examine one of the world's most important population movements: the Irish diaspora worldwide. It is built around an unerring attentiveness to the basic facts of the processes of immigration that altered forever the make-up not only of Ireland but of the entire Imperial world. In measured accessible prose, the author examines the vital role played by the Irish in the unprecedented multicultural outflowing of the 19th and 20th centuries.
