  • From Ireland to America: Emigration and the Great Famine 1845 – 1852
    Volume 2 Issue 4 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND March 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 From Ireland to America: Emigration and the Great Famine 1845 – 1852 Amira Achouri University of Grenoble Alpes, France Institute of languages and cultures in Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Australia Centre for Studies on the modes of Anglophone Representation [email protected] Abstract One of the changes that compose history is the migration of peoples. The human development of colossal numbers from one geographical area to another and their first contact with other social and economic backgrounds is a major source of change in the human state. For at least two centuries long before the great brook of the Hungry Forties, Irish immigrants had been making their way to the New World. Yet, the tragedy of the Great Famine is still seen as the greatest turning point of Irish history for the future of Ireland was forever changed. The paper tends to explore the conception of emigration and how it steadily became “a predominant way of life” in Ireland, so pervasive and integral to Irish life that it had affected the broad context of both Irish and American histories simultaneously. From the post-colonial perspective, my study presents emigration as one of the greatest emotional issues in Irish history, as it tends to have a very negative image especially in the post-Famine era. People are generally seen as involuntary “exiles”, compelled to leave Ireland by “British tyranny” and “landlord oppression” - an idealized Ireland where everyone was happy and gay and where roses grew around the door of the little white-washed cottage.

  • The Reemergence of Emigration from Ireland
    THE RE-EMERGENCE OF EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND NEW TRENDS IN AN OLD STORY By Irial Glynn with Tomás Kelly and Piaras Mac Éinrí TRANSATLANTIC COUNCIL ON MIGRATION THE RE-EMERGENCE OF EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND New Trends in An Old Story By Irial Glynn with Tomás Kelly and Piaras Mac Éinrí December 2015 Acknowledgments Much of the research on which this report is based was carried out as a result of a one-year Irish Research Council grant, which enabled the completion of the EMIGRE (“EMIGration and the propensity to REturn”) project at University College Cork between October 2012 to September 2013. The resulting paper was completed with the support of a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship within the 7th European Community Framework Program. Thanks go to Natalia Banulescu-Bogdan and Kate Hooper from the Migration Policy Institute for their insightful comments on earlier drafts. This research was commissioned by the Transatlantic Council on Migration, an initiative of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), for its twelfth plenary meeting, held in Lisbon. The meeting’s theme was “Rethinking Emigration: A Lost Generation or a New Era of Mobility?” and this paper was one of the reports that informed the Council’s discussions. The Council is a unique deliberative body that examines vital policy issues and informs migration policymaking processes in North America and Europe. The Council’s work is generously supported by the following foundations and governments: Open Society Foundations, Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Barrow Cadbury Trust, the Luso- American Development Foundation, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and the governments of Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.

No other country in Europe has experienced emigration on such a wide scale. Mary Robinson, Irish Prime Minister from 1990 until 1997 spoke about emigrants in her inaugural speech on 3rd December 1990 and in her dedicated speech “Cherishing the Irish Diaspora” in 1995. In her first speech she widened the concept of community by saying that “the State is not the only model of community with which Irish people can and do identify” and addressed the emigrants as “extended family abroad” (“Address by the President Mary Robinson”). The year 1845 is considered a turning point in migration from Ireland, following repeatedly failed potato crops, but the peak of emigration in the same century was in the 1880s; the peak of the following century was around 1956-1961. According to Fintan O’ Toole “the journeys to and from home are the very heartbeat of Irish culture” (158). It is no wonder so many Irish writers have dealt with the topic of emigration, including poets, novelists, and playwrights. While any literary genre can express the feelings and use the language of the people it represents, “drama and its constructive categories of dialogue, interaction and immediacy in performance have by definition always had a close affinity to the structures of the particular society they reflect” (Middeke and Schnierner, vii).

More than 32% have earned a college de- gree and have an overall median income of $56,383. As such, Irish Americans represent an ex- cellent target group for both US and Irish based consumer goods companies. The Irish Diaspora The size and scope of this audience is becoming increasingly important for Irish based compa- represents one of the nies to target –they are their natural born consumers.

  • Two Diasporic Moments in Irish Emigration History: the Famine Generation and the Contemporary Era*
    Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies, n. 9 (2019), pp. 43-65 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/SIJIS-2239-3978-25506 Two Diasporic Moments in Irish Emigration History: The Famine Generation and the Contemporary Era* Kevin Kenny New York University (<[email protected]>) Abstract: In some usages “diaspora” refers to a social process (relocation or mi- gration) and in others to a social entity (a migrant group or ethnic group). Both approaches require scholars to define diaspora, but the criteria often seem arbitrary. Rather than posing a timeless question (“What is a diaspora?”), this article examines diaspora as an idea that people use to interpret the world migration creates. Diaspora in this sense reached its peak historical significance for Ireland in two distinct periods, but for quite different reasons: the era of the Great Famine, when mass emigration gave rise to a powerful transnational sense of exile; and the era since the 1980s, when changes in the acad- emy, popular culture, communications, and especially government policy produced a new sense of connectedness among the global Irish. Keywords: Diaspora, Emigration, Famine, Government, Irish 1. The idea of diaspora About 10 million Irish men, women, and children have emigrated from Ireland since 1700. Remarkably, this figure is more than twice the popula- tion of the Republic of Ireland today (4.8 million), it exceeds the population of the island of Ireland (6.7 million), and it is higher than the population of Ireland at its historical peak (8.5 million) on the eve of the Great Famine in 1845.
