| Zusammenfassung: | "Wherever they settled, immigrants from Ireland and their descendants shaped and reshaped their understanding of being Irish in response to circumstances in both the old and new worlds. In A Land of Dreams, Patrick Mannion analyzes and compares the evolution of Irish identity in three communities on the prow of northeastern North America: St John's, Newfoundland, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Portland, Maine, in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. These three port cities, home to diverse Irish populations in different stages of development and in different national contexts, provide a fascinating setting for a study of intergenerational ethnicity. Mannion traces how Irishness could, at certain points, form the basis of a strong, cohesive identity among Catholics of Irish descent, while at other times it faded into the background. Although there was a consistent, often romantic gaze across the Atlantic to the old land, many of the organizations that helped mediate large-scale public engagement with the affairs of Ireland - especially Irish nationalist associations - spread from further west on the North American mainland. Irish ethnicity did not, therefore, develop in isolation, but rather as a result of a complex interplay of local, regional, national, and transnational networks. This volume shows that despite a growing generational distance, Ireland remained "a land of dreams" for many immigrants and their descendants. They were connected to a transnational Irish diaspora well into the twentieth century."-- |

These three port cities, home to diverse Irish populations in different stages of development and in different national contexts, provide a fascinating setting for a study of intergenerational ethnicity. Mannion traces how Irishness could, at certain points, form the basis of a strong, cohesive identity among Catholics of Irish descent, while at other times it faded into the background. Although there was a consistent, often romantic gaze across the Atlantic to the old land, many of the organizations that helped mediate large-scale public engagement with the affairs of Ireland - especially Irish nationalist associations - spread from further west on the North American mainland. Irish ethnicity did not, therefore, develop in isolation, but rather as a result of a complex interplay of local, regional, national, and transnational networks. This volume shows that despite a growing generational distance, Ireland remained "a land of dreams" for many immigrants and their descendants. They were connected to a transnational Irish diaspora well into the twentieth century."-- Geschichte 1880-1923 gnd rswk-swf Nationalbewusstsein (DE-588)4041282-9 gnd rswk-swf Einwanderer (DE-588)4151434-8 gnd rswk-swf Iren (DE-588)4109151-6 gnd rswk-swf Newfoundland (DE-588)16001182-6 gnd rswk-swf Nova Scotia (DE-588)4042713-4 gnd rswk-swf Maine (DE-588)4114929-4 gnd rswk-swf Irish / Maritime Provinces / History Irish / Maine / Portland / History Irish Americans / Maine / Portland / History Irish Americans / Maine / Portland / Ethnic identity Nationalism / Ireland Irish Canadians / Nova Scotia / Halifax / History Irish Canadians / Nova Scotia / Halifax / Ethnic identity Irish Canadians / Newfoundland and Labrador / St. John's / History Irish Canadians / Newfoundland and Labrador / St. John's / Ethnic identity Irish Americans / Ethnic identity Irish / Ethnic identity Nationalism Ireland Maine / Portland Newfoundland and Labrador / St. John's Nova Scotia / Halifax History Newfoundland (DE-588)16001182-6 g Nova Scotia (DE-588)4042713-4 g Maine (DE-588)4114929-4 g Iren (DE-588)4109151-6 s Einwanderer (DE-588)4151434-8 s Nationalbewusstsein (DE-588)4041282-9 s Geschichte 1880-1923 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, ePDF 978-0-7735-5405-4 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, ePub 978-0-7735-5406-1 |
