From the World to the Village and the Beginning to the End and after: Research Opportunities in Irish American History
2009
Overview
Meagher talks about some research opportunities in Irish American history. Over the last half century of historical scholarship in America, Irish Americans have kept turning up in American history books, sometimes as the centers of their own story, more often as critical exemplars of themes or arguments in larger studies of American social, cultural, and political history. Surprising as it may seem to some, there is still much to know about the Irish in America. In the last few decades, for example, scholars have made an exciting start in exploring them not in isolation but in the context of a broader, worldwide Irish diaspora. Scholars, however, have still barely scratched the surface of that research's potential. Furthermore, scarcely any attention at all has been paid to some elemental parts of the Irish American story, such as the local origins of America's Irish--where in Ireland they came from--or the networks they forged to take them from their Irish townlands and villages to American city neighborhoods, mining villages, and mill towns.
