Werner Sollors, of the Longfellow Institute, Harvard, asked that this Call
For Papers be distributed to the Irish Diaspora list.

The co-editors are especially interested in a piece on Irish-American
literary representations of Native American Indians, for this special issue
of Amerikastudien/American Studies.

Please distribute this Call For Papers to anyone you think might be
interested.

P.O'S.


CALL FOR PAPERS:

For a special "Multilingualism" issue coedited by Heike Paul and Werner
Sollors, the journal Amerikastudien/American Studies invites submission of
previously unpublished work on non-English writings in what is now the
United States and on the American English-language tradition in the context
of multilingualism.

The editors of the special issue will accept scholarly work in literature
and in other relevant disciplines, from the history of immigration to
bilingual education, and from the question of language rights to American
theories of language. One desirable but by no means exclusive focus of the
issue will be the interaction of Native American Indian and immigrant
languages in the United States. For example, what does it mean for a student
of American literature to find Yiddish "squaws," German Hiawathas and
Pocahontases, or pow wows and wigwams in Norwegian, Welsh, French, Russian,
or Spanish/English texts written and published in the United States?

One or two examples of creative writing (historical or contemporary) may
also be included in the issue.

Papers may be submitted in English or German; examples of literary texts in
other languages may be presented if they are accompanied by a German or
English translation.

Send inquiries and electronic versions of paper (in Amerikastudien/American
Studies format) to:
Heike Paul .

Deadline for submission: September 1, 2004

A sense of Irishness

Bea Gavin

Abstract:

This paper explores how issues of Irish identity and difference expressed
themselves in a range of group analytic settings. This Irish dimension has
been largely absent in therapy literature. Work on the impact of cultural
difference and racism, while very relevant, has not addressed itself to the
specific dynamics of the Irish experience in Britain and how this manifests
itself in therapy settings. Irishness was understood in a number of
different ways in the groups described. For the Irish members, their
cultural identity was used both to generate a genuine exploration of
difference and the interweaving of personal and cultural events, and, in
other circumstances, it was used to create division and to deny early
painful family experiences. For the non-Irish members, the Irish experience
was simultaneously acknowledged and denied. Acts of apparent inclusion led
instead to an experience of exclusion. These experiences reflect the reality
of social, political and historical power relations between cultures and how
these manifest themselves in groups. A countertransference reaction on the
part of the group therapist when identified as Irish, and the impact of this
on the group, is also considered.

Thinking out loud...

There are two moments of engagement that spring to mind... There is the
Choctaw contribution to Irish Famine relief in 1847. There is the incident
involving the rescue of white women from the Indian camp in Rotha Mór an
tSaoil, by Micí Mac Gabhann, (1959) translated by Valentin Iremonger as
Michael Mac Gowan, The Hard Road to Klondike (1962).

Oddly enough there is an article in the latest Irish Studies Review,
December 2003 - not yet listed online...
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/carfax/09670882.html
Joy Porter, 'The North American Indians and the Irish' - this is mostly
about the use of the North American Indian as an image in Irish of Ireland
writing and film. But it gives some sort of baseline.

I am awaiting the Table of Contents of this issue of ISR. The actual
printed volume is now being distributed to subscribers.

I understand that there is some treatment of Irish relations with Native
American Indians in Kerby Miller's latest book - but I have not yet seen
this book.

Subject: RE: Ir-D CFP 'Multilingualism', American Studies 3

The first record of an Irish person communicating with Native Americans in
their own dialect has to be that of Richard Butler, an Irish sailor from
Clonmel in the service of Walter Raleigh.
In 1585, as a member of Richard Grenville's expedition to Roanoke Island (in
present-day North Carolina), Butler was part of a reconnaissance party
assigned to explore the coastline.
He went inland to investigate, and was "in the company of the natives for
about eight days and they treated him well", according to an undated (but c.
1596) deposition he later gave in Spain.
"As he had some communication with the two natives who had left with the
English on the occasion of their first visit, he was able to understand a
few words of what they were saying."
The "two natives" referred to here were the famous Algonquian Indians Manteo
and Wanchese, who were brought back to London in 1584 by the earlier Amadas
& Barlowe reconnaissance expedition to Roanoke in which Butler had also
taken part.
See bibliography for "America's First Irish Visitor" in Michael Glazier's
_Encyclopedia of Irish America_ (Notre Dame, 1999) for citations.

Two centuries later, we find evidence of Mathias O'Conway, a linguist and
translator from Galway, conversing with Seneca Indians in their native
tongues.
In a letter describing his first years (1784-85) in the United States,
O'Conway wrote to a friend of his experiences as an Indian trader:
"I proceeded to the Indian country, resided eighteen months with the six
nations of the Senecas. I dressed in their fashion and learned to chatter in
three of their languages."
See Lawrence F. Flick's four-part series, "Mathias James O'Conway,
Philologist, Lexicographer and Interpreter of Languages, 1766-1842" in
Records of the American Catholic Society of Philadelphia, September
1899--June 1900.

Undoubtedly there were other Irish-born Indian traders who--even if they did
not share O'Conway's facility with and scholarly interest in
languages--picked up some rudimentary knowledge of their trading partners'
dialects for commercial purposes.

Subject: Mock Irish, continued

Can the "Irish Tenor" John McDermott accurately be described as "Irish"?
Not really, if birthplace matters.......
Although I've heard that his late father Peter--from Donegal--and possibly
his late mother as well, were Irish by birth.
John was born in Scotland, a fact that seemed to get downplayed--if not
omitted entirely--in his official biographies.
See, for example:
http://www.johnmcdermott.com/

As I recall, the discovery that McDermott wasn't "the real thing" was the
subject of some negative commentary in the Irish-American press some time
before he left the Irish Tenors.
Whether there was any connection between the criticism and his departure
decision I don't know.
Undoubtedly a man of his talents felt he could do better as a solo act, as
his subsequent career has proved to be the case.

Meanwhile, other web sites have a mixed but generally better record on
acknowledging McDermott's Glasgow birthplace:

http://www.celticmp3s.com/bands/john_mcdermott/index.shtml

John McDermott
Irish Tenor
"John McDermott is the real thing, a worthy heir to the famed Irish tenor
John McCormack... a sound as pure and achingly beautiful as the ancient
countryside itself." -The Chicago Sun-Times John McDermott is one of the
most popular - and best selling - recording artists to emerge in Canada in
recent years. And the tenor "with a smile in his voice" is so happy about
his new releases that only one thing clouds his joy: He won't have any time
to go golfing for at least six months. The ninth child of twelve, John
McDermott came with his family to Canada from their native Scotland in the
mid-1960's. His striking, pure voice was nurtured at St. Michael's Choir
School in Toronto, and his appreciation for the traditional music of the
British Isles was the legacy of an upbringing in a home where music was an
essential facet of everyday life.
Over the years he has become something of a self taught authority on
traditional songs. "It's sort of an education as you go," he recalls. "I
know the tunes that I liked, and I can remember my dad's recollections of
them. Although Dad didn't elaborate that much, I have all his references as
a starting point for my own research."

http://www.shantero.com/mcdermott_bio.htm
The ninth child of twelve, John and his family emigrated to Canada in 1965.
His striking, pure voice was nurtured at St. Michael's choir school in
Toronto, and his affinity for both the Celtic tradition and American
standards is a direct product of his family's transatlantic voyage. Music
was an essential part of everyday life in the McDermott household, and John
cites his father, Peter, as his chief mentor and teacher. A clarion tenor in
his own right, Peter McDermott inspired John to become a self-taught
authority on both traditional and contemporary music.
The retail success of The Irish Tenors, as well as John's latest solo
project Remembrance, demonstrate not only the commitment of his fans, but
also his inherited versatility as a singer.
On his singing: "It was sort of an education as you go," John explains, "I
know the tunes I liked, and I can remember my dad's passion for everything
from the ancient airs of Scotland and Ireland to Johnny Mathis. Although Dad
didn?t elaborate much, I have all his references as a starting point for my
own research, and as a result my repertoire."

http://www.fairfield.edu/calendar/press/0103mcdermott.htm
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (Jan. 17, 2003) - Irish tenor John McDermott, whose
international singing career began when he belted out "Danny Boy" at a
company party, will bring his rich, expressive voice to Fairfield
University's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts this Valentine's Day. The
concert, which also features the glee club of the Fairfield-based
Gaelic-American Club, will begin Friday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. McDermott will
attend a free post-concert reception....................
McDermott's appearance will benefit Fairfield University's Irish Scholarship
Fund, which brings Irish students to study at the university. The
scholarship honors the memory of Father John Conlisk, a Bridgeport Diocesan
priest for 28 years.
The ninth of 12 children from a traditional Irish family in Glasgow,
Scotland, McDermott moved to Canada in the 1960s. His musical roots are
equal parts Scottish and Irish and his songs showcase an innate
understanding of both traditional folk melodies and more contemporary
styles. His albums include such chestnuts as "Amazing Grace," "The Rose of
Tralee," "The Skye Boat Song" and "Scotland the Brave," all rendered in his
strikingly pure voice.

German-speaking Exiles in Ireland 1933-1945
International Colloquium 10-12 June 2004
Centre for Irish-German Studies, University of Limerick


This colloquium will bring together exile scholars from Ireland, England,
Austria and Germany and former refugees. It is part of the 'German speaking
Exiles in Ireland 1933-1945 Project' which examines the situation of
German-speaking refugees coming to Ireland in the 1930s and 40s, supported
by the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Science (IRCHSS).

The project builds upon the extensive research undertaken on one such
refugee, John Hennig, who came to Ireland in 1939 and became the leading
researcher in Irish-German relations (see G. Holfter/H. Rasche, Exil in
Irland - John Hennigs Schriften zu deutsch-irischen Beziehungen, Trier: WVT
2002).

The Exiles in Ireland project aims to establish who came to Ireland, how
these refugees managed to overcome the restrictive policy and how their
lives turned out to be in Ireland. The results will be placed in the context
of research on exiles coming to Great Britain and other countries, therefore
adding a hitherto unknown Irish perspective to international exile studies.

It is the first ever attempt to look closely at the impact the German
speaking exiles had on Ireland as the first larger group of immigrants to
Ireland in the 20th century. In the case of some of the German speaking
exiles the impact and importance seems self-evident - one only has to think
of the Nobel Prize winner Erwin Schrödinger, Director of the newly founded
Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies; of Dr. Ludwig Bieler, eminent
palaeographer and mediaeval historian at University College Dublin who wrote
The Life and Legend of St. Patrick among other studies; or of Dr John
Hennig. But there are many others for whom Ireland provided a refuge and
they in turn provided Ireland with expertise, public service and ongoing
gratitude.

Professor Wolfgang Benz, President of the German Society for Exile Research
and Director of the Centre for Anti-Semitism Research, and Professor Dermot
Keogh, Head of the History Department University College Cork, have agreed
to give the keynote lectures.

The colloquium is supported by the Austrian and German Embassies, the
Goethe-Institut and the College of Humanities, University of Limerick
Research Funding.

Dear Elizabeth,

This is indeed sad news...

Thank you for sharing this information - in the old days it would have taken
ages for the news to percolate through.

Patrick O'Farrell faxed me a few months ago, after his latest bout in
intensive care. I had not heard from him since, and rather thought
something must be amiss.

Patrick was not a member of the Irish-Diaspora list. He liked to keep his
email address secret, because he valued his privacy. Also, a stroke some
years ago meant that he had lost the use of his right arm - keyboards were
therefore tricky, and he did not want to make demands of his family. He
taught himself to write with his left hand, and would often send me letters
and faxes.

If he was not a member of the Ir-D list he did have a benign interest in our
doings. I would occasionaly send him by email Ir-D items, or other items of
interest - and he would reply with handwritten fax. Recent successes would
include my notes on Kevin FitzGerald's autobiography, which Patrick then
ordered and enjoyed immensely. Another exchange had to do with Patrick
questions about Four Courts Press - the choice of name he read historically
and politically. I told him he was being an over-subtle historian.

I actually met him only a few times. The first time, I think, was at a
dinner at the Irish Embassy, London, hosted by Patrick's friend Ambassador
Joe Small. Patrick was visiting London and had asked to meet the British
historians of Ireland and scholars of the Irish Diaspora.

A subtle historian he certainly was, honest, thoughtful, hard-working...

Dear All,

I wish to extend a brief message of appreciation for the life and work of
Patrick O'Farrell. He was one of the great pioneers of Irish-Australian and
Irish-NZ history. He also wrote widely about the history of the Catholic
Church in the Antipodes. In these respects he remains an historical giant
upon whose shoulders many of us continue to perch.

I had the pleasure of Patrick's company in Nov. 2002, when a morning tea
visit to his home in North Sydney turned into a 3 hour marathon discussion
about St Patrick's Day, the Orange Order, Freemasons ... the topics he could
comment on seemed endless. I was enthralled ... and the O'Farrells were too
polite to remind me of the time, instead plying me with lamingtons and cups
of tea. Eventually it dawned on me that it was 2pm. I blushed, but the O
Farrells were generous enough to ignore my embarrassment. I promptly excused
myself, shaking Patrick's firm left hand and thanking the O'Farrells for
their hospitality. For me, this had been a very special experience. Not only
did I meet one of the greats of Irish Diaspora history, I had also seen a
man who, despite advanced years and disability, was still working away on a
major project on Irish history - sectarianism. I do hope that the manuscript
can be edited and thus still be published. That would be a fitting and
dignified end to the academic life of a man so respected by his peers.

'...The Lancaster Index to Defence and International Security Literature is

The Lancaster Index is a useful and interesting web resource for anyone
interested in military history and military strategy. I have tried to find
out more about it, and the organisation behind it, but without success. It
is evidently a commercial organisation, charging fees for full access.
Quite hefty fees for a poor scholar.

Whoever compiles the database reads and comments on material. What is quite
extraordinary is that amongst the journals so read and commented on is The
Irish Sword, the journal of the Military History Society of Ireland - not
exhaustively, and not the most recent issues. But there is no easy way of
doing this. Looking at the material listed, it has to involve a human

Dear Paddy,

I share the feelings expressed in your message and in those of Daryl and
Piaras about Pat O'Farrell.

I've written an obituary for 'The Sydney Morning Herald', which I'm told
will probably be published on Thursday, the 8th. Hopefully it will appear on
the paper's website, but I've pasted a copy below for the Irish-Diaspora
list.

There will also be an obituary in 'The Age' in Melbourne, written by Gerard
Henderson, who is a leading political commentator here and who was a friend
of Pat's. I don't exactly know when that will appear, but perhaps later this
week as well.

Without going into detail, I can also say that it is likely O'Farrell's
contribution to Irish-Australian history will be officially recognised later
this year by the Australian government.

One correction to my first message: he actually died on Christmas Day. The
funeral was on the 31st. Bertie Ahern sent a message of condolence to the
family on behalf of the Irish government,which I know they appreciated very
much.

PATRICK JAMES O'FARRELL
PROFESSOR OF HISTORY, AUTHOR, TEACHER
17.9.1933 - 25.12.2003

Elizabeth Malcolm

Few historians come to dominate one large field of study; even fewer
dominate more than one field. Patrick O'Farrell was such a historian. It is
impossible today to talk or write about the history of the Catholic Church
in Australia, the Irish in Australia and New Zealand, Irish migration or
even aspects of the modern history of Ireland itself without drawing upon
O'Farrell's work.

In September 1998, when the President of Ireland visited Australia, and
again in March 2000, when the Irish Taoiseach visited, Prime Minister John
Howard welcomed both by quoting from O'Farrell in his speeches. When the
then Governor General, Sir William Deane, attended a state dinner in Dublin
in April 1999 he too quoted O'Farrell. Equally, there are few, if any,
recent studies of the Catholic Church and the Irish in Australasia that do
not refer to his writings. This tendency to quote O'Farrell is not just
because his contributions to these fields were more numerous than those of
others; no, it is rather that his work displayed an intellectual breadth,
originality and boldness that was unprecedented. Moreover, his ideas were
expressed in memorable, and highly quotable, prose - as politicians were
quick to recognise.

Patrick O'Farrell was born and grew up in New Zealand. His 1990 book
Vanished Kingdoms is a moving and revealing exploration of his own and his
family's history of migration. His parents, Patrick Farrell, a tailor, and
Mai Sullivan, emigrated in 1913 and 1914 from Co. Tipperary to the south
island, where they both had family connections. They had known each other in
Ireland, met again in New Zealand and married in 1920. O'Farrell was born in
Greymouth in 1933, the youngest of three children. He took BA and MA degrees
in history from the University of Canterbury, before immigrating in 1956 to
Australia - what he later termed 'that mildest of displacements' - and
gaining his PhD from the Australian National University in Canberra. This
was a man whose own life had been shaped by the Irish migration experience
that he wrote about so eloquently.

In 1959 he was appointed a lecturer in the School of History at the
recently-established University of New South Wales in Sydney, where he
continued to work for nearly forty years. In 1964-5 and 1972-3 he spent two
productive years as a visiting fellow at universities in Dublin. While still
only in his late thirties, he was appointed in 1972 to a personal chair and
in 1976 he was elected a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
In 1999, shortly after his retirement, he published the official history of
UNSW. His immense services to the university, as teacher, administrator and
historian over five decades, were recognised with the award of a
distinguished Scientia emeritus professorship.

During the first half of his academic career in Australia, in the 1960s and
1970s, O'Farrell mainly concentrated on the history of the Catholic Church
and the history of Ireland itself, publishing in 1971 and 1975 two lively
general histories of Ireland and in 1977 the standard history of Australian
Catholicism, The Catholic Church and Community in Australia: a History,
which was revised and republished in 1985 and 1992.

Then, in his mid forties, he suffered a massive stroke that threatened to
end his career, if not his life. He was partially paralysed for a time and
had to learn to write with his left rather than his right hand. Yet, with
the strong support of his family, doctors and colleagues, he overcame
continuing physical disabilities to produce during the 1980s and 1990s what
is without doubt his most influential work. The many books, articles and
papers of those decades dealt largely with the contribution of the Irish to
the development of Australia.

The Irish in Australia (1986, 1993, 2000), which went into three editions in
less than fifteen years, was a distillation of many years of research and
thought. It is an extraordinarily ambitious piece of work. Its title is far
too modest: it is not merely a history of Irish settlement in Australia; it
is an examination of the development of a distinctive Australian national
identity and an assessment of the role that the Irish played in this
process. I think it not an exaggeration to say that what Manning Clark
attempted to do in six volumes, O'Farrell did in one, and with more panache.
He argued that it was the Irish and their resistance to English political,
religious and social dominance during the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries that prevented Australia becoming merely a little England.
According to O'Farrell: 'The distinctive Australian identity was not born in
the bush, nor at Anzac Cove: these were merely situations for its
expression. No; it was born in Irishness protesting against the extremes of
Englishness'.

Naturally this assessment of the significance of the Irish is controversial
and has been criticised. Yet, although first published seventeen years ago,
so far no scholar has comprehensively refuted O'Farrell's analysis. Perhaps
this is partly because few command his knowledge, skill and vision.

The Irish in Australia will probably remain his most influential book, but
Vanished Kingdoms is in some respects even more impressive. It is a deeply
personal and highly emotional meditation on the migration experience. To it
O'Farrell brought all his passion and, indeed, anguish about the Irish and
their troubled history. Freed from some of the constraints of academic
prose, his writing reached new heights. Parts of this book are best read
aloud in order to savour the sheer brilliance of its writing.

As well as a distinguished historian, O'Farrell was also an editor,
administrator, teacher and collector. For many years he edited the Journal
of Religious History and the Australasian Catholic Record. At UNSW, as well
as serving his school and faculty in administrative roles, he was director
(1986-92) of the Community History Program. He was also a great collector of
material relating to the Irish in Australia and in 1998 the National Library
of Australia acquired his large collection of personal papers, Irish
manuscripts, pamphlets and books. The O'Farrell Papers in Canberra will
remain an important resource for historians long into the future.

As one of his students at UNSW during the late 1960s, I can personally
attest to his impact as a teacher. He did not treat history merely in terms
of facts or even of theories; to him history, and Irish history in
particular, posed a series of fundamental moral dilemmas. I subsequently
went on to become an Irish historian largely because he demonstrated to me
that the small island of Ireland, like William Blake's grain of sand, was a
complete world, containing within its history all the most challenging
philosophical, political and social questions that humanity has been faced
with - in the past and still today.

His insights into political violence, informed by the Troubles in Northern
Ireland, were especially profound. Writing from Ireland in March 1973 he
observed: 'Situations may develop in human affairs which eventually imprison
men and events in some kind of historical trap from which they are unable to
escape. It is often claimed that once the gunman and the bomber have been
caught, all will be well. But the North has been dominated not only by
actual violence, but, much more pervasively, by terror, fear of violence.
After what has happened in recent years, a relatively low level of actual
violence could sustain the really destructive, divisive force, a relatively
high level of suspicion, fear and hatred. It would be possible to reduce
greatly the incidence of violent acts, without any corresponding degree of
immediate settlement of the problem'. How true a prediction of the future of
Northern Ireland this was to prove - and it remains relevant today to
countries other than Ireland.

O'Farrell in his writing and teaching could certainly inspire, but this is
not to say that he was easy going on a personal level with students or with
colleagues. He was often intense, demanding, impatient and prickly. I
vividly remember students quaking at the prospect of having to explain to
him why work was not in on time or up to his exacting standards. Yet, on the
other hand, he was frequently supportive and generous and many of his
students - myself included - with his encouragement, have gone on to pursue
successful careers in all manner of fields.

Ultimately though, O'Farrell will be remembered for his vision of the Irish
as the 'dynamic factor in Australian history, that is, the galvanising force
at the centre of the evolution of our national character'.

Patrick O'Farrell is survived by his wife, Deirdre, who collaborated with
him on a number of his books, by his children, Clare, Gerard, Virginia,
Richard and Justin, who also contributed significantly to his work, and by
six grandchildren.

Subject: RE: Ir-D Patrick O'Farrell 3

I too was greatly saddened to hear of Patrick O'Farrell's death. I had
direct contact with him on just two occasions. The most recent was during
the events surrounding the closure of our migration centre here in Cork last
summer, when Patrick sent a letter of support (as did many other members of
this list, for which I am eternally grateful). He was also my first tutor in
the History Department in UCD in 1972. I remember him as a hard but totally
dedicated taskmaster, ascerbic at times but absolutely rigorous,
conscientious, prepared to debate any point as long as your arguments were
well founded and well presented, and concerned with matters of style and
expression as well as the business of historical enquiry. He took
extraordinary trouble with his students's essays and with their formation in
in the discipline. I believe he had a lasting and beneficial influence on
the UCD students he dealt with during his time there.

This H-Net review is forwarded for information...

The Eltis voume evidently covers a number of themes of interest to Ir-D
members.

Note that the book under review contains a chapter by Marianne S. Wokeck.
The reviewer mentions her book, Trade in Strangers, 1999, which was quite
savagely reviewed when published. But the book did at least try a
comparative German/Irish perspective.

Perspectives_

David Eltis, editor, _Coerced and Free Migrations: Global Perspectives_.
Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2002. xii + 447 pp.

Reviewed for EH.NET by Raymond L. Cohn, Department of Economics, Illinois
State University.


This book is a collection of eleven essays preceded by an introduction by
the editor, who is Professor of History at Emory University. It is published
as part of _The Making of Modern Freedom_ series out of the Center for the
History of Freedom at Washington University in St. Louis.

The dust jacket of the book describes it as "an innovative history of major
worldwide population movements, free and forced, from around 1500 to the
early twentieth century." Though the book can be described as innovative and
does consider free and forced population movements over the time period
claimed, the implication that it considers all _major_ population movements
during this period is incorrect. For example, slavery is not the central
focus of any of the chapters, though it is addressed in places. More to the
point, the book completely ignores the movement of free immigrants from
Europe to the United States between
1815 and 1914, the largest international population movement since 1500.
Instead, the book is better described as having its focus on coerced
population movements, with the authors generally addressing the degree of
freedom under which migrants traveled and comparing the experiences of
various groups of migrants in the host countries.

Though no formal division is provided, the eleven essays divide naturally
into four major sections. The first three essays provide overviews. Eltis
writes the first essay and explores why coerced migration accounted for 67
to 80 percent of total international migration between 1630 and 1830
(slightly updating some of his earlier work), even though free migration
dominated before and after. Stanley Engerman's chapter is an examination of
government policy towards emigration, with a focus on changing government
regulations. Philip Curtin then provides an overview of the mortality
consequences of migration, essentially a short version of the material in
his book, _Death by Migration_.

The next three essays examine immigration to colonial North America.
Lorena Walsh discusses a variety of cultural and economic factors concerning
European and African movements to the colonial Chesapeake, mainly describing
the origins and interactions of the two groups and the secular trends in
their arrival. Marianne Wokeck examines Irish and German migration to
eighteenth-century North America, a subject she has addressed more
extensively in _Trade in Strangers_. Finally, Mechal Sobel provides
interesting case studies of thirteen immigrants to colonial North America,
focusing on the differing degrees of coercion they encountered in moving to
the New World and how their personal identities changed as a result of
migrating.

The next set of three essays addresses other international migrant groups.
David Northrup examines the adjustment of the French Caribbean to the end of
slavery in 1848 and the area's subsequent use of African and Asian contract
labor. Walton Look Lai provides a direct contrast and comparison of Chinese
and Indian contract labor after 1834. Colin Forster discusses the
transportation of both British and French convicts, ranging from the
shipment of the former to colonial North America and Australia to the
shipment of the latter to New Caledonia and Guiana, a movement that lasted
into the first half of the twentieth century.

The final two essays examine internal migration in Russia from the 1480s to
1914. Richard Hellie provides a broad overview of the expansion of Russia
and the resulting internal migration up to the 1780s. David Moon's chapter
continues the story up to 1914. Though these chapters are interesting, their
inclusion struck me as somewhat peculiar. All the other chapters focus on
the host countries for the immigrants while these examine the source
country. The discussions in these two chapters concern the implementation,
changes in, and ultimate abolition of serfdom in Russia and provide a sharp
contrast to the other chapters' focus on what happened to those who had
escaped such constraints by migrating internationally. These chapters would
have a more logical connection to essays discussing the breakdown of
migration constraints in Germany and other parts of Europe during the
nineteenth century than to the other essays in this book.

The strength of this book is twofold. The first is its emphasis on
comparative analysis, both among different coerced migrant groups and
between coerced and free migrants. In particular, Look Lai's chapter on
contract labor, Forster's chapter on convicts, and Walsh's chapter on the
colonial Chesapeake provide important comparisons between groups that I
haven't seen before. The second strength of the book is the breadth of
groups considered. In spite of my comments above concerning the inclusion of
the chapters on internal migration within Russia, it is an interesting idea
to consider so many different migrant groups in one book. Thus, I would
highly recommend the book to anyone wanting an introduction to historical
research currently being done on international migration. The diversity of
the topics also leads me to recommend the book to specialists in one area of
international migration. As I was, you will be introduced to research in
areas about which you have limited familiarity.

I thought that this Call for Papers might interest Ir-D members. Note the
plans for special issues and clusters - many of interest to us, topics where
we could contribute and ought to contribute.

P.O'S.

International Migration

Editors: Elzbieta M. Gozdziak and Charles B. Keely

CALL FOR PAPERS

International Migration is a peer reviewed, scholarly journal devoted to
research and policy analysis of contemporary issues affecting international
migration. The journal is edited at Georgetown University's Institute for
the Study of International Migration (ISIM), published and distributed by
Blackwell Publishing, and sponsored by the International Organization for
Migration (IOM). The editors at ISIM are responsible for the direction and
content of the journal.

* Submission Topics
* In addition to submissions on all topics relevant to
International Migration, the editors plan a number of special issues and
paper clusters on the following topics and themes:

* Integration of Immigrants. There is a great deal of
literature on integration of immigrants in "traditional receiving
countries," such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and more recently,
Israel, and "gateway cities," such as New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago that
have a long history of receiving different groups of immigrants. Less is
known about immigrant integration in European countries and new settlement
areas in North America, or integration of "temporary" migrants. The editors
call for papers presenting scholarly analysis of integration issues facing
new immigrant groups and new settlement sites. In addition, comparative
papers or papers that raise issues of theories of integration in light of
integration experiences in new settlement countries are welcome.

* Trafficking of Human Beings. There is a great interest in
trafficking of human beings and much policy and program development to
address the topic. The editors call for papers that report empirical
research on trafficking of women, children, and men for sexual and labor
exploitation, with careful attention to methods and sampling. In addition,
papers on the policy making process, the use of data in policy making, and
in policy and program evaluation are desired. The editors are interested in
papers based on empirical research rather than commentary.

* Migration and Security. Since the terrorist attacks in the
United States on September11, 2001, there has been much policy and
programmatic emphasis on the nexus of international migration and security.
The editors call for papers on the development of policy, analysis of the
effects of policy changes, and the policy import of further "securitization"
of immigration. Comparative articles are especially welcome.

* Migration and Development. A number of positive and negative
links between international migration and development have been noted,
including the effects of remittances, movement of intellectual capital to
and from the developing world, and migrants and export development. The
editors call for papers based on empirical research on the relationships of
migration and development, including empirical research on policy
developments trying to link migration and development through a variety of
schemes.

* Migration and International Trade. Migration provisions are
included in many bilateral, regional, and international trade agreements.
International migration policy making is being incorporated into trade
negotiations. The editors call for papers on the process of developing
negotiating positions on migration in trade discussions, comparative
analysis of migration provisions and their impacts, and implementation of
migration provisions in trade agreements. Economic and demographic analysis
of the impact of migration provisions is also welcome.

* Psycho-social Well-being of Migrants. The effects of
migration, particularly forced migration, have raised a host of theoretical
and program issues about appropriate responses to stresses of migration.
There is a highly developed literature about different approaches and their
theoretical underpinnings. The editors call for empirical papers looking at
measurement of psycho-social well- being of migrants, refugees, torture and
trafficking survivors, with and without treatment interventions, and
evaluation of the feasibility and effectiveness of different interventions
and treatment modalities. The objective is to further the discussion to
testing of the claims of the different approaches already developed in the
literature.

* Return Migration. The editors call for empirical papers on
the process of return of migrants, whether they thought of themselves as
temporary or permanent, voluntary or forced. Theoretical comparison on the
basis of empirical work with immigrant integration is encouraged.

* Immigrant Education. The role of education in immigrant
integration has traditionally been of great importance. As second, third and
following generations are developing in many immigrant receiving countries,
especially in the context of economies based on intellectual property,
education seems even more important. The editors call for papers on the
impact of education and educational attainment, as well as education policy
and program initiatives aimed at immigrant and "ethnic" populations.

* Diasporas. The term diaspora is widely used to describe
immigrant populations. The editors are interested in theoretical treatment
of the concept, its definition and measurement, as well as empirical work
based on conceptual clarity about diaspora populations, and the similarities
and differences between different diasporas and other migrant populations.
The analyses of impacts of diaspora populations versus other international
migrants on policy, especially foreign policy, are encouraged.

* Labor Migration. After a long hiatus in research on "guest
workers" in Europe and then the Middle East, there is a re-emerging
discussion of lower skilled migration, empirical work on the size of
movements, the functions in the labor force, the relation to aging and
filling personal service jobs, structural dependence, and comparative
research on similarities and differences among countries in the insertion
and functions of lower skilled workers are of particular interest.

* Perceptions of Immigrants. The editors call for papers based
on empirical research on the perceptions of immigrants by host societies and
the implications of these perceptions on policy, behavior, and programs.
Comparative papers testing whether and to what extent perceptions affect
policy and program development, or behavior are particularly welcome.

* Immigrant Scholars. There is a growing number of immigrant
and refugee scholars ("native researchers") that study a wide range of
international migration issues, including their own communities. The editors
are interested in papers exploring theoretical, methodological, and ethical
issues and challenges faced by "native scholars." Auto-ethnographies of
one's migration journeys are also welcome.

* Data and Statistics. Papers analyzing the quality of data on
international migration, collection methods, use of estimation techniques,
comparability, and other issues affecting international migration statistics
are encouraged. The editors make a particular call for papers on ethical
considerations about the collection, storage, and use of statistical data on
migration or data used to force migration of populations. Historical
instances of uses of migration data that cause ethical concern, with
analysis of possible contemporary implications, are of particular interest.

Submission Guidelines
Authors interested in submitting papers on the above topics should
submit to the editors a letter of intent with a brief outline and a
tentative title of the proposed paper as soon as possible. After review,
selected authors will be invited to submit an article, which will be peer
reviewed by two outside reviewers. The invitation to submit resulting from a
letter of intent is not to be construed as acceptance of a manuscript. After
peer review, authors will be notified of editorial decisions and accepted
articles may require further revision and editing before acceptance and
publication.

Contact Information E-mail letters of intent with a brief outline of
the proposed article in response to this call for papers to Monica Hincken,
associate editor, at mah36[at]georgetown.edu.

This is an interesting book, which, as the reviews make clear, does touch on
some Irish themes and personalities - though I have not noticed a review in
an Irish journal. Helpful ideas about exile - and I do mean exile -
disappointment, displacement... And military careers.
