The Irish in Latin America and Iberia. an Annotated Bibliography The Irish in Latin America and Iberia: An Annotated Bibliography By Edmundo Murray First published in Irish Migration Studies in Latin America (www.irlandeses.org) in April 2003 and updated until October 2007. Some later published book-length studies have been added in 2019. This bibliography includes books, book chapters, articles, documentaries and websites grouped in geographic areas: Latin America (general); Central America; The Caribbean; Argentina; Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru; Brazil; Colombia and Venezuela; Mexico; Paraguay and Uruguay; Portugal and Spain. Thematic lists include: San Patricio Batallion; Eliza Lynch (1835-1886); William Brown (1777-1857). Some entries repeat in more than one category. I am thankful to the late Brian McGinn for his practical help and generous encouragement with this bibliography. Many of the following bibliographical entries were first gathered by Brian for his website The Irish in South America: An Annotated Bibliography and I published them with his authorization. I would also like to express my gratitude to the following people for their support and assistance in developing this bibliography: David Barnwell, Frank Cullen, Jorge Fox, Mike Geraghty, the Reverend Jeremy Howat, Oliver Marshall, Bruce Bradley S.J., Peter Feeney and Edward Walsh.

Wherever Green is Born: The Story of the Irish Diaspora (London: Hutchinson, 2000). Chapter nine of this book is dedicated to the Irish in Latin America. Although it is difficult to provide an accurate account in just forty pages, the interesting information contained in Coogan's text was obtained from a variety of secondary and selected primary sources, as well as through the vast contact network of the author. The chapter covers from the arrival of Irish monks to Mexico to the horrors of state terror and its Irish victims in the second half of the twentieth century, though emphasis is on Argentina, whose flavour Coogan found "particularly attractive" (643). ● Gillissen, Christopher, "L'Irlande et l'Amérique Latine" in Études irlandaises 23:1 (1998), pp. 173-184. ● Griffin, William D., "The Other Irish Americans" in William D.

[...] When they appeared at the construction site near Matachin, the Irish crews stared in ill-humored surprise and then burst out in angry cursing. Long classified as stable and outhouse cleaners in Great Britain and the U. S., the Irish had risen to the heady rank of white Anglo-Saxons on arrival in Panama and wanted everyone to know it.

Una lectura a partir de dos héroes culturales.1 Elisa Palermo * Resumen Empujados por el hambre, la pobreza y la falta de libertades religiosas y políticas, muchos irlandeses emigraron a nuestro país hacia mediados del siglo XIX. Actualmente, descendientes de esos inmigrantes continúan festejando y conmemorando fechas patrias y religiosas irlandesas, nucleándose en diferentes instituciones creadas por sus ancestros y compartiendo momentos y pasatiempos en clubes irlandeses. El presente artículo se propone analizar cómo, a través de dos personajes históricos (el Padre Fahy y el Almirante Brown), estas personas unidas en lo que ellos llaman “comunidad”, recrean simbólicamente el pasado, logrando autolegitimarse en el tiempo y el espacio, uniendo el presente con “ambos” pasados -el argentino y el irlandés- y construyendo una identidad dual que, sin dejar de lado las tradiciones y costumbres heredadas de sus raíces irlandesas, trasciende lo “irlandés” para amalgamarse con e insertarse en el plano mayor de la nación que adoptó y albergó a sus padres y abuelos.

  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

The sociological literature theorising the cleavages that divided elites during the initial phases of state formation has focused on three domains: 1) The conflict between an expanding state and the elites; 2) the conflict between different economic elites; and 3) the conflict between cultural and ideological blocs.

  • 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.
