Subject: Re: Ir-D 'Irishness' Mastercard ad

I have not seen the ad, but I don't think the attitude you describe is
so
new. In the research I conducted among New Irish in the 1980s those
attitudes about 'real' Irishness and 'pretender' (or Irish American)
were
certainly evident in the relationship between New Irish immigrants and
the
Irish American community they encountered and dealt with in New York
City in
that decade. The tension, as far as I can see, probably began earlier,
sometime after 1965 when Irish immigration to the US slowed and the
Irish
culture and economy changed. The evolution of the new attitude you
describe
is a complex mixture of change in the political, social, religious, and
cultural attitudes on both sides of the Atlantic. I discuss it in more
detail in my book, Irish Immigrants to New York City, 1945-1995 (Indiana

University Press, 2001).

Our email systems at the University of Bradford Computer Centre have
been experiencing technical problems over the past two days. And now,
late on Friday, it seems that no one will even be able to look further
at those problems until Monday.

I am a bit cross about this. To put it mildly...

I have developed this work-around, to let members of the Irish-Diaspora
list know about the problems. Hopefully, messages within the University
of Bradford systems are safe, and will be rescued in due course. But,
for the moment, they have not reached me.

St Darerca and Her Sister Scholars: Women and Education in Medieval
Ireland

Gender & History, April 2003, vol. 15, no. 1, pp. 32-49(18)

Callan M.B.

Abstract:
This article examines largely neglected evidence for women's education
in Irish saints' Lives and integrates it with findings from other
medieval Irish texts, such as chronicles, devotional works and poetry.
The sources attest that education was available to at least some girls
and women under male and female teachers in mixed and single-sex schools
from the earliest days of the Irish church until the mid-fifteenth
century. Their history points to the power, agency and authority open to
medieval Irish women and the respect, affection, and admiration their
brothers felt for them.

An interesting series of radio programmes, which - if you can work out
how to navigate the BBC's web pages - can be picked up on the web...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/

Particularly interesting are the interviews with people involved. The
Irish code breakers are an interesting bunch. I have not seen anything
about this in a scholarly source - any further information, anyone?

P.O'S.

Information from the BBC Radio web site...

1.
Ireland's Neutral War

U-boats, Spies And Codebreakers:

Throughout the Second World War, Ireland remained neutral. But how
neutral was it? Were German U Boats dropping German Spies on to the
Shores of Ireland's West Coast? Did the IRA collaborate with the Nazis?
Fact is stranger than the fiction, as we discover the stories of the
spies themselves and the Irish code breakers who secretly cooperated
with MI5 aiding the British War Effort.

Presented by James Maw.

Produced by Neil George.


2.
Ireland's Neutral War

Fighting For The British:

Presented by James Maw.

Even though Ireland had declared itself neutral in the Second World War,
as many as one hundred thousand Irish men and women joined up to fight
for the British. On their return however, many were treated as traitors.
Now that their story is finally being told how can their experience help
the peace process in the North?

Further to my message about 'Technical Problems' a week ago...

I still do not have access to any of our bradford.ac.uk email addresses
- - that is my own, P.OSullivan[at]bradford.ac.uk, and the Irish-Diaspora
list, Irish-Diaspora[at]bradford.ac.uk.

My apologies to any one who has tried to email those addresses.

It turns out that, whilst one part of the University of Bradford, the
School Board, is asking for a report from me about our activities over
the past year, another part of the University, the Computer Centre, has
decided that I am not part of the University at all. The background
problem is worse than 'Technical Problems' - I have been sucked into
'Personality Clashes' and 'Office Politics'.

People who know me will know that I am not at my best in these
circumstances...

And, as some members of the Ir-D list will know, we have already in
place a back-up Irish-Diaspora list, at Jiscmail
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/
Some members will know about this, because they first learnt of our
existence through Jiscmail. Jiscmail is a mailing list service for the
UK Higher and Further Education communities - it is (sort of) the UK
version of H-Net in the USA, with which many people will be familiar.
Like H-Net, Jiscmail runs on Listserv - so, for many people, the
software will be familiar.

Indeed, I know that some Ir-D members already run their own mailing
lists on Jiscmail. I would value any advice, feedback about the service
- - as we contemplate the move.

We would, of course, want to continue to run the Irish-Diaspora list as
we have done - as a moderated, scholarly list. Our archive exists
outside and independently of the University of Bradford systems - at
www.irishdiaspora.net
The system there will seamlessly accept material from a re-located
Irish-Diaspora list.

I am constantly been told to expect speedy resolution of the problems
within the University of Bradford - but I have been told that for the
past week.

In the meantime messages to
Ir-D[at]irishdiaspora.net
will be regarded as messages for onward redistribition to the
Irish-Diaspora list.

Messages for me personally should be sent to

I do apologise for all this. I think that, in the circumstances, this

Subject: FW: Irish Names in Argentine Politics

I have received many enquiries through the Irish Diaspora Studies in
Argentina web site about the participation of Irish-Argentine candidates
in yesterday's national elections for Argentine President and
Vice-President 2003-2007. I am not a connoisseur of Argentine politics
(or of any politics whatsoever), however I would like to clarify some
concepts that might be of interest for those of you involved in the
study of the Irish in South America.

Yesterday, Argentines could vote for two (not three) candidates with
Irish surnames: Ricardo López Murphy from 'Movimiento Nacional y
Popular' (16.4%), and Patricia Walsh from 'Izquierda Unida' (1.8%). Some
of you also mentioned Guillermo Patricio Kelly, who (fortunately) was
not a candidate and is a fogeyish spy-became-journalist, whose
great-grand father was a journalist in Mulhall's _The Standard_.

Ricardo López Murphy ('a Margaret Thatcher with military moustache'
according to _Página 12_ newspaper) obtained the third position with
votes largely from urban elites, particularly in Buenos Aires, and from
the landed bourgeoisie in the provinces. He is a reference point for
many old-fashioned Irish-Argentines, and he even got unexpected support
from _The Southern Cross_ collaborators. In Argentinian political
jargon, his 'right-centre' ideological position should be matched, for
instance, with French 'Front National' programme.

Communist Party lawmaker Patricia Walsh, daughter of journalist and
courageous author Rodolfo Walsh (who was 'disappeared' by the military
forces in 1977), was one of the four candidates presented by the left,
which has not yet managed to iron out its differences. Her discourse is
opposite to López Murphy's, in particular regarding her approach to
combat poverty.

Despite their Wexford family names, Mr. López Murphy and Ms. Walsh do
not hold any public links with Irish-Argentine institutions. During the
last weeks, members of Walsh's team were surprised to receive calls from
Irish media who wanted 'to enquire about Ms. Walsh Irish heritage.' It
seems that the political approach of Irish-Argentines as a community
radically changed since the times of Fr. Patrick J. Dillon and others,
who in 1879 founded the 'General Brown Club' (not the soccer team) to
'organize the Irish citizens into a body to secure representation in the
Legislature of the Province [of Buenos Aires], and fuller representation
on local boards and commissions' (Murray 1919: 390). Regrettably,
research is inexistent in the field of political participation of the
Irish in Argentina.

The first two candidates in yesterday's election (Menem 24.1% and
Kirchner 22%, both Peronists) will compete on mid-May 'ballotage' for
the presidential office. Their Syrian and German last names do not
appear to attract particular minorities either, but they are a sample of
the diverse origins of present-day ruling classes, who will have to
struggle to overcome challenging low rates in education, security, and
unemployment.

As ever, the book review section is especially strong. Ir-D members
will note Mary Hickman's review of Kevin Kenny, The American Irish -
'essential reading...' And I like Eve Patten's review of 2 books, Paul
A. Townend, Father Mathew, Temperance and Irish Identity (book and
review acknowledging Elizabth Malcolm, Ireland Sober, Ireland Free), and
Bruce L. Kinzer, England's Disgrace, J.S.Mill and the Irish Question.
On Mill, I would support Patten's wish for 'a bit of speculation on

works, particularly On Liberty...'

Dear Neil,

I'm aware of two books in French on Catholicism in Britain that include
material on the Irish:

Jean-Alain Lesourd, Sociologie du catholicisme Anglais (1767-1851)
(Nancy, 1981);

Catholicisme Anglais (Paris, 1958).

The second is a collection of essays. There might well be journal
articles, perhaps in Etudes Irlandaises?

Ashes hoax leaves the tabloids dead

ENGLISH tabloid papers have fallen hook, line and sinker for a unlikely
story featuring a dead man's ashes, seven drunken Irish men and the
Blackpool Tower.

A group of Irish men pretended to leave the ashes of their dead friend,
Mick
McMaribh ( "dead Mick" in English) in the back seat of a taxi after
seemingly being too drunk to carry out his wish of being scattered from
the
top of the Blackpool tower. The prank hit the headlines when the cabbie,

John Callaghan, went to the local paper in an effort to reunite the men
with
their deceased friend.
The national tabloids picked up on the story, running with it today,
despite
papers here yesterday revealing it was a prank. The Daily Express and
Daily
Star are two of the tabloids which give the story coverage, with
pictures of
the shocked driver holding "Mr McMairbh's" ashes.

XV ULSTER-AMERICAN HERITAGE SYMPOSIUM
'Changing Ways of Thinking About Emigration from Ulster'.
CMS [at] UAFP, Omagh, Northern Ireland 23-26 June, 2004
CALL FOR PAPERS

The Centre for Migration Studies at the Ulster-American Folk Park,
Omagh, is pleased to host the Fifteenth Ulster-American Heritage
Symposium, 23-26 June, 2004 in partnership with the University of
Ulster, Queen's University, Belfast, MAGNI, the Education and Library
Boards of Northern Ireland and Enterprise Ulster.

Since 1976 the Ulster-American Heritage Symposium has met every two
years, alternating between co-sponsoring universities and museums in
Ulster and North America. Its purpose is to encourage scholarly study
and public awareness of the historical connections between Ulster and
North America including what is commonly called the Scotch-Irish or
Ulster-Scots heritage. The Symposium has as its general theme the
process of transatlantic emigration and settlement, and links between
England, Scotland, Ireland and North America. Its approach is
inter-disciplinary, including history, language and literature,
archaeology, folklife, religion and music.

The meeting in 2004 will consider the changing ways of how we think
about emigration from Ulster, especially in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. As in 2000 and 2002, particular attention will be
given to developments in Scotch-Irish / Ulster-Scots culture, history
and heritage. Keynote speakers will include Professor Kerby Miller whose
new book Irish Immigrants in the Land of Canaan is published by Oxford
University Press in 2003; Professor Michael Montgomery; Professor
Kathleen Wilson, who is curating a major travelling exhibition on
'Ulster Linen Worldwide' for 2005, and Dr Patrick Fitzgerald and Dr John
Lynch, whose book Migration in Irish History 1600-2000 is to be
published by Palgrave in 2004.

So far there are plans for panel discussions on 'The Volume of
Emigration from Ulster 1600-2000' and on 'Foodways' (including a
'tasting'). The organisers will be especially pleased to receive offers
of papers on the
following: The role of women; responses to conflict; relations with
other ethnic groups; interpretation of Irish cultural identity and
heritage (Irish, Gaelic Irish, Scotch-Irish, Ulster-Scot, British);
regional, local community and family studies; foodways.

Deadline for proposals for individual papers or panels: October 31 2003
Proposals should include an abstract of the paper (300 words) and brief
c.v.

We encourage proposals to be submitted via e-mail. Contact:

Given that my mother's name was Callaghan, I definitely need a

seven men, and that Callaghan himself perpetrated the hoax on the paper.
If that is not true, then we have the case of a dim Callaghan, which
