  • Ireland and Latin America: a Cultural History
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2010 Ireland and Latin America: a cultural history Murray, Edmundo Abstract: According to Declan Kiberd, “postcolonial writing does not begin only when the occupier withdraws: rather it is initiated at that very moment when a native writer formulates a text committed to cultural resistance.” The Irish in Latin America – a continent emerging from indigenous cultures, colonisation, and migrations – may be regarded as colonised in Ireland and as colonisers in their new home. They are a counterexample to the standard pattern of identities in the major English-speaking destinations of the Irish Diaspora. Using literary sources, the press, correspondence, music, sports, and other cultural representations, in this thesis I search the attitudes and shared values signifying identities among the immigrants and their families. Their fragmentary and wide-ranging cultures provide a rich context to study the protean process of adaptation to, or rejection of, the new countries. Evolving from oppressed to oppressors, the Irish in Latin America swiftly became ingleses. Subsequently, in order to join the local middle classes they became vaqueros, llaneros, huasos, and gauchos so they could show signs of their effective integration to the native culture, as seen by the Latin American elites. Eventually, some Irish groups separated from the English mainstream culture and shaped their own community negotiating among Irishness, Englishness, and local identities in Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Cuba, and other places in the region. These identities were not only unmoored in the emigrants’ minds but also manoeuvred by the political needs of community and religious leaders.

  • Private Sources at the National Archives
    Private Sources at the National Archives Small Private Accessions 1972–1997 999/1–999/850 1 The attached finding-aid lists all those small collections received from private and institutional donors between the years 1972 and 1997. The accessioned records are of a miscellaneous nature covering testamentary collections, National School records, estate collections, private correspondence and much more. The accessioned records may range from one single item to a collection of many tens of documents. All are worthy of interest. The prefix 999 ceased to be used in 1997 and all accessions – whether large or small – are now given the relevant annual prefix. It is hoped that all users of this finding-aid will find something of interest in it. Paper print-outs of this finding-aid are to be found on the public shelves in the Niall McCarthy Reading Room of the National Archives. The records themselves are easily accessible. 2 999/1 DONATED 30 Nov. 1972 Dec. 1775 An alphabetical book or list of electors in the Queen’s County. 3 999/2 COPIED FROM A TEMPORARY DEPOSIT 6 Dec. 1972 19 century Three deeds Affecting the foundation of the Loreto Order of Nuns in Ireland. 4 999/3 DONATED 10 May 1973 Photocopies made in the Archivio del Ministerio de Estado, Spain Documents relating to the Wall family in Spain Particularly Santiago Wall, Conde de Armildez de Toledo died c. 1860 Son of General Santiago Wall, died 1835 Son of Edward Wall, died 1795 who left Carlow, 1793 5 999/4 DONATED 18 Jan. 1973 Vaughan Wills Photocopies of P.R.O.I.

  • Literature in the Irish Diaspora: the New Zealand Case, 1873-1918 Literature in the Irish Diaspora: the New Zealand Case, 1873-1918
    Journal of New Zealand Studies Literature in the Irish Diaspora: The New Zealand Case, 1873-1918 Literature in the Irish Diaspora: The New Zealand Case, 1873-1918 KEVIN MOLLOY Victoria University of Wellington In surveying the cultural history of the Irish in New Zealand it is apparent that from the beginnings of their settlement in this country the Irish sought social, cultural and political self-definition through a range of Irish literatures – literatures from their land of origin, and literatures from the greater nineteenth-century Irish diaspora in North America, Australia, England, Scotland, New Zealand and Argentina.1 This literature generally came in two formats, printed volumes of history, fiction, poetry, oratory, music and songs, and the Irish or Irish-Catholic newspaper that, more often than not, carried its own range of history, fiction, poetry, oratory and music as part- and-parcel of its regular social and political journalism. In 1875, two years after the New Zealand Tablet was established, the paper ran a story on the international newspaper press, identifying the names, origin, and dates established of ninety-five current Irish papers in America and Canada alone.2 What was important in this article, and others of a similar ilk, is the representation of a comprehensive network, an enterprise in which all Irish, no matter where they were situated, were participants.3 For the Irish in this post-Great Famine period, the latter half of the nineteenth-century was the age of cultural affirmation and rebuilding. Like many pre-twentieth-century
