Paddy

Would be possible to provide a arrangement through some kind server manager
where we could all be given emails within a specific domain i.e.
DistinguishedScholar[at]diaspora.net? Controls could then be set to block all
non-network traffic i.e. it could effectively be operated as an intranet
with tight access controls.

I could certainly explore this at this end if it looked promising.

David,

I had a similar problem with the university of a Very Eminent Diaspora
Scholar - which university banned all emails emanating from my ISP,
Telewest. So that it looked as if I was discourteously ignoring the
VEDS'
emails...

The problem is that each one of these debacles has to be negotiated
individually. Time-consuming, and frustrating - when they won't even
accept
your direct emails.

And of course each debacle means that we loose members. Here I am,
ejecting
our remaining Yahoo.com members. It was sort of reassuring to learn of
H-Net's problems - we are not alone. But I thought the H-Net message
was
quite despairing, really...

Frank Cullen is doing a very good job to include a complete bibliography
on Ireland and Latin America. Perhaps the same could be done with a
forgotten place of the Irish Diaspora, i.e. Portugal and the
Portuguese-Irish relations.

Let me add to Joe's voice on sport - a very important theme. But of
course this cannot be dealt with without the acknowledgment that sport
was used as a litmus test in many ways in twentieth century Ireland. I
speak as a cricket fan.

Call for Submissions: Memory Ireland

Essay submissions are invited for a proposed collection entitled Memory
Ireland. Cultural memory has garnered increasing attention within Irish
Studies, but while memory is often mentioned, it has remained largely
undefined, addressed only laterally; despite the ease with which we have
used the term memory in recent decades, it is not an easy concept.

We have avoided discussion of how our cognitive capacity for memory might
influence the formation of cultural memory, as well as how cultural memory
itself shifts over time. Does cultural memory rely on memories of
individuals and thus on cognitive principles, or does it take shape beyond
the borders of the individual mind? What do stereotypes of Irish memory as
extensive, unforgiving, begrudging, but also blank on particular, usually
traumatic, subjects reveal about the ways in which cultural remembrance
works in contemporary Irish culture, and in Irish diasporic culture?

Might Irish cultural memory be said to differ from one time to another, from
one place to another, or does something remain constant within the sphere of
cultural memory? This collection will attempt to map, in other words, a
landscape of cultural memory in Ireland.

Theoretical, speculative and cross-disciplinary work will be particularly
welcomed. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
the relationship between cultural memory and cognitive principles of memory;
theoretical perspectives on memory using cognitive science, neuroscience,
and / or psychology;
analysis of the role of memory in Irish culture from any period;
memory and the Irish state;
memory and colonialism;
memory and post-colonialism;
memory and language;
memory and place;
trauma and history;
forgetting in Irish cultural memory;
the relationship between memory and history;
sites of memory: literary, historical, memorial, topographical, etc.
literature as a medium for cultural memory;
analysis of specific figures/ authors as mediators of cultural memory in
Ireland;
analysis of specific events/ periods as significant within Irish cultural
memory;
the construction of cultural memory;
immigration and cultural memory.

Deadline for submissions: May 15th, 2007. Enquiries and submissions to:

Ethnoscapes: An Interdisciplinary Journal on Race and Ethnicity in the
Global Context

Issue Two, Spring 2007
"Transnational Migration, Race, and Citizenship"

The editorial staff for the new peer-reviewed journal Ethnoscapes: An
Interdisciplinary Journal on Race and Ethnicity in the Global Context
invites submissions for its second issue on the subject of "Transnational
Migration, Race, and Citizenship." Ethnoscapes maps the development of
important themes in the field of race and ethnic studies by using a
"classic" piece as a point of departure for a reconsideration of critical
issues within the contemporary economic, political, and cultural terrain.

While the classic piece establishes the thematic parameters of each issue=
,
authors are under no obligation to actively engage the arguments posed by
that work.

Issue two explores the subject of "Transnational Migration, Race, and
Citizenship" with consideration of the chapter "The Shock of Alienation"
from Oscar Handlin's ground-breaking The Uprooted: The Epic Story of the
Great Migrations that Made the American People. In this chapter, Handlin
investigates the relationships between labor, cultural membership,
citizenship, and the production of racial difference. Citing violence
against Chinese and Filipino immigrants in the early 19th century, he
details the ways in which labor tensions in the US were integral to the
establishment of federal anti-immigration policy aimed at these
"unassimilable" groups. According to Handlin, cultural variation and
poverty status became the criteria used to infer an ostensibly inherent
racial inferiority that served as the basis for denying Chinese and
Filipino immigrants the rights and protections that accompanied
citizenship.

While labor, cultural membership, and race remain central components of
the current complexities of immigration, new concerns have emerged since
the 1951 publication of Handlin's Pulitzer Prize-winning history. On one
hand, new signs of deterritorialization-the increasing incidence of dual
citizenship, home-country remittances, expatriate involvement in
home-country politics, and "diasporic" community-building-have led some t=
o
assert the declining relevance of the nation-state as a primary attachmen=
t
and the declining significance of citizenship itself. On the other,
debates and policy developments around immigration and citizenship sugges=
t
that the nation-state's power to regulate the movement of labor and
capital within and across borders is far from obsolete. In particular,
state power continues to have a profound impact on racialized disparities=
,
processes of racialization, and on the burdens and benefits of
citizenship. In this new context, we are compelled to reconsider the
nature of transnational migration, the nature of citizenship, the link
between the two, and the role of race in mediating that link.

To this end, the "Transnational Migration, Race, and Citizenship" issue o=
f
Ethnoscapes seeks manuscripts that investigate:

A) Economic Flows, Migration, and Racialized Disparities
How is migration racialized/ethnicized and gendered? What is the
relationship between late capitalist economic operations, migration, and
racialized disparities in health, education, self determination and
representation, and wealth? In what ways do "citizenship gaps"-spaces in
which market participation forecloses political membership-re/produce
racialized disparities globally?

B) Borders, Boundaries, and "The Nation"
How is immigration policy racialized? What is/should be the current role
of the nation-state in generating policy that regulates the movement of
wealth and people across borders and in regulating resultant disparities?
What forms of regulation/governance that exceed the nation-state can be
conceptualized? What role does cultural nationalism play in political
membership? What transnational forms of political and cultural membership
are/can be imagined?

C) Processes of Racialization
In what ways are immigrant populations affecting domestic racial
hierarchies and racial identities? How are transnational cultural flows
affecting conceptualizations of race and ethnicity? Their relationship to
nation?

The deadline for manuscript submission is March 2, 2007. Please send
submissions to mmaltry[at]kirwaninstitute.org and
editors[at]kirwaninstitute.org. See

Reviewed for H-Ethnic by Christiane Harzig, Department of History, Arizona
State University

Is There a New Immigrant Threat?

The book was born, as the author states in the conclusion, from a mixture
of irritation and inspiration. As a migration historian well-versed in
European and United States history, he could not help but notice the
historicity of migration processes in the various European countries on the
one hand and the possible comparison to similar developments in the U.S. In
both cases the developments were accompanied by the tropes of "fear" and
"threat": fear that the "new," more recent immigrants would not assimilate
and thus would present a threat to the orderly and peaceful development of
societies. In this discourse the values of the new immigrants, it is
argued, are fundamentally opposed to the "Judeo-Christian" tradition (i.e.,
separation of church and state, equality of women). What is conveniently
forgotten in this discourse, as Lucassen points out, is Europe's
anti-Semitic past. He could have added that women in Western societies were
not given equal rights on a silver platter either, but rather had to and
still have to fight bitterly for equality and equity. Is there a lesson to
be learned from U.S. history? Can our understanding of the European
migration and integration processes, which Lucassen functionally defines as
the process by which all people (migrants and non-migrants) find their
place in society, be enhanced by looking at U.S. discussions and historical
experiences (p. 18)? In the end, Lucassen wants to find out whether
structural integration (using a modified concept of integration as process
by Milton M. Gordon) over two generations in Europe today differs from what
has been happening in the past. Are today's immigrants so fundamentally
different (regarding race and culture) as to warrant the prediction that
they will not be capable of assimilation? To what extend do the different
structures of receiving societies in Europe provide different paths to
integration and how do they compare to the integration scenario in the
United States?

Lucassen's research design is simple and most convincing. Choosing a number
of social markers and characteristics such as stereotyping processes,
social and political mobilization, intermarriage, social mobility,
criminality, and residential patterns, and applying them to various
dominant immigrant groups in the past and present, he attempts to draw
conclusions about the (un)assimilablity of today's immigrants in Europe.
For his comparison he chose "large and problematic" groups: Irish
immigrants in Britain, Polish immigrants in Germany, Italian immigrants in
France in the past; Caribbeans in Britain, Turks in Germany, and Algerians
in France in the present. These are obvious and well-grounded choices.

As Lucassen works through his research agenda, the reader is provided with
a concise overview of the immigration histories of the various groups. We
learn about the respective political context, the political, social, and
cultural discourses accompanying the immigration process and the
persistence (as in the case of the Irish) or the fading (as in the case of
the Italians) of the negative stereotypes. For each of the immigration
scenarios, Lucassen is able to reduce his otherwise highly differentiating
analysis to one key factor responsible for determining the immigration
trajectory. Regarding the Irish in Great Britain, he perceives the deeply
felt religious divide between the Protestants and Catholics to be at the
core of the ongoing estrangement of the Irish in British society. In the
case of the Poles in the mining districts of western Germany, it was
nationalism (on both the German and the Polish sides), which kept Polish
workers and their families, who had established an associational structure
approaching institutional completeness (churches, voluntary associations,
press, even unions), separate from the host society. Both of these
sentiments, religiosity and nationalism, Lucassen considers as more
fundamental than the labor antagonism of Italian and French workers, which
was at the root of anti-Italian xenophobia in France. Once Italian workers
had understood the benefit of unionism and French unions were willing to
overcome their perception of Italians as scabs, the road to integration was
open for most Italian immigrants, especially when they came with their
families. The French state, always more of an immigration state than
Prussia/Germany or historical Great Britain, fostered and supported
family-based immigration and thus helped Italians on their immigration
trajectory.

The new, post-1950s wave of immigration in Europe is often seen as
fundamentally different from earlier patterns, awakening the fear that the
conflation of cultural differences, skin color and socio-economic problems
will produce a caste-type underclass, and thus create an "American
problem." Upon closer analysis Lucassen sees a two-road integration model
among immigrants from the Caribbean in Great Britain. While there are
segregated clusters in places like Brixton and Notting Hill with high
levels of unemployment and social problems, blacks, especially women with
an education, show evidence of being on the road to integration. Here,
class appears to be the most important factor in determining the long-term
development of the integration process. For the "large and problematic"
group of Turks in Germany, Lucassen argues against the "Brubaker paradigm,"
which claims that a rigorously applied ius sanguinis (hereditary national
status) prevalent in Germany prevents Turks from integrating. He outlines
instead the (partial) integration into the labor market (and he could have
mentioned active union participation) despite high unemployment; the high
degree of self-organization; and even school statistics, an issue of great
concern in Germany, that provide room for optimism. Again, the women fare
better than the men. The "German ethno-cultural hangover" indeed has its
implications for the identification process of Turkish immigrants, but it
has not stopped the integration process, which may be further along than is
assumed in public discourse. The relationship between Algerians and natives
in France is more complex than the other immigration scenarios under
scrutiny here, because it is impacted by the conflicted history between the
colonizers and the colonized. Again the author provides a brief but
insightful analysis of Algerian migration to France and the political
conflicts which accompanied this migration process. True, ghetto formation
in low-rent housing is the result more of racism than of self-selection (in
contrast to the Turks in Germany), and Algerians are reluctant to
naturalize, (though their children demand to be treated as French, as
indeed they are in terms of citizenship). Nevertheless, education and a
good proficiency in French open roads to social and economic integration.
The author considers the fear of rising fundamentalism among the Algerian
immigrants as unfounded, and if it indeed gains more ground, it is more due
to frustration than due to an "ingrained cultural tendency." Again Lucassen
finds evidence for his major argument that, if these new "large and
problematic" groups experience (more) difficulties in integration, it is
not due to some fundamental, i.e. unchangeable, cultural characteristic,
but rather due to political, social, and economic circumstances for which
all parties involved bear responsibility.

In the end, Lucassen concludes that "integration may be a slow, gendered
and differentiated process, but also the children of migrants gradually
become more similar to the established population, both in _structural_ and
_identificational_ respects" (italics in original, p. 211). And he
continues: the rapid cultural changes point "more in the direction of
ongoing integration than toward the dawn of a multicultural society where
descendants of immigrants remain visible and culturally distinct groups"
(p. 212). Regarding the European-U.S. comparison, the analysis has shown
that "the American debate is to some extent parochial and only partly
applicable to other contexts" (p. 208). Considering the national
self-definition (the U.S. as a nation of immigrants); the role of the
welfare state (and its stern rejection of illegal immigrants in Europe);
and the impact of color, (which seems less salient in Europe), there are
limits of theorizing on the basis of the American experience.

Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, in this book Lucassen has
addressed a number of academically and politically pressing and challenging
questions, and he has provided a thoroughly grounded historical cum
sociological analysis. He has also opened up a number of issues for further
analysis: I would like to see more studies on "intermarriage"; at the
moment it is unclear to me what it actually measures and what kind of
conclusions we can draw from it. Though Lucassen attempted to keep gender
as an analytical category in his analysis, pointing to the leading role of
women in the integration process, a closer look into the cultural
differences of changing gender relations and gender dynamics during the
migration and integration process may produce some interesting results.
This book has the potential to provoke many stimulating discussions and
could thus be a great read in a graduate class.

Many members of the British Association for Irish Studies will remember the
sterling work of Jerry Nolan on the BAIS Newsletter - before paper became
unfashionable. At times the Newsletter was in danger of turning into a
journal, with reviews and full interviews with writers and historians...

A long time ago I did suggest to Jerry that he put some of that material -
the interviews especially - on a web site...

Jerry Nolan has now created a web site, to mark his 70th birthday. There
are various items of Irish Studies interest on the web site...

www.jerrynolanwriter.com

Our good wishes to Jerry...

And I'll contact Jerry, reminding him of my original suggestion.

In Search of Ireland's Heroes: The Story of the Irish from the English
Invasion to the Present Day - Carmel McCaffrey

=A0
Carmel McCaffrey has succeeded in compiling a history of Ireland which =
is
completely accessible without losing credibility. Using original sources
ranging from Giraldus Cambrensis to the Annals of the Four Masters and
through to contemporary newspaper reports, she presents Ireland over the
past eight centuries through its people, both heroic and humble. The =
concise
sections help to focus the reader on the topic under examination, from =
the
original invasion of the Normans at the invitation of Dermot =
MacMurrough,
two years before the better-known Bannow Bay landing, to the development =
of
the troubles in the North over the past thirty years.=20
Ms McCaffrey points out on several occasions that the initial inability =
of
the English to conquer Ireland was due to the lack of political unity in
this country, and to the tendency of the conquerors to integrate with =
the
local community. Religion, too, is a consistent focus, notably the
autonomous aspect of the Catholic Church in Ireland which successive =
popes
tried to stamp out. A particularly interesting section concerns the rise =
of
the Catholic Church in the nineteenth century, at a time when the =
priests
filled the leadership void left by regional kings and chiefs. Unity =
between
the Catholics and Protestants in their common goal of ousting the =
English is
a recurring theme; it was not until later in the nineteenth century that
nationalism began to be identified with Catholicism.=20
The author has succeeded in conveying scholarly material in an almost
conversational style that brings an immediacy to the content of this
history. It is both an excellent introduction to a subject that can be
confusing, and an extremely useful source of reference to those who do =
not
come new to the topic.=20

The Prendergast Letters: Correspondence from Famine-era Ireland, 1840-1850 -
edited by Shelley Barber

When the sons and daughter of James and Elizabeth Prendergast emigrated to
America in 1840, James Prendergast began a correspondence which has been
preserved and which provides a wonderful insight into life in Ireland during
the hard pre- and post-Famine years. The letters, held in the John J. Burns
Library of Boston College, have been expertly edited by Shelley Barber so
that we can follow chronologically the fortunes of the family members who
emigrated and those who were left behind. It soon becomes apparent that
letters from Boston serve two functions; they assure the parents that things
are going well with their children, and they often contain remittances which
make the difference between survival and penury. James is not above asking
for more money when it is needed, but most of the contents of his letters
deal with the progress of the family both at home and abroad and a desire to
see his children again.

The loss of the potato crop in successive years is documented, though it is
a pity that his letter dated April 21, 1847, describing conditions at home
in Milltown, in north Kerry, is one of the few that has large sections
missing from it. In a letter dated October 1845 James reports. "The news
papers teem with alarming accounts of the same disease throughout the
kingdom. I cannot say whether the loss is equal to the alarm". Mention is
made of a number of national events, including the Repeal Movement and the
Young Irelanders' rebellion of 1848 but most of the content concerns family
affairs and fears for the safety of emigrants.

The letters also portray a portrait of James' wife Elizabeth spending her
time knitting socks and stockings for her children in Boston, to the extent
that on at least two occasions they write to say they have enough and she
should stop sending them. After her husband's death she emerges as a more
independent character, at first refusing to go to America as she felt she
must look after her son Maurice.

Shelley Barber has rounded off this fascinating collection with short
biographies of the members of the Prendergast family, few of whom produced
descendants; either they remained single or contracted childless marriages.
However their entrepreneurial spirit ensured that the Prendergast name
figured largely in the life of Boston in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries.

Best of Irish short stories showcased in new collection=20
=20
Gearrsc=C3=A9alta =C3=A1r Linne is a collection of the best short =
stories in Irish published over the last thirty years.=20
=20
This anthology of twenty-five stories introduces the reader to the =
modern short story in Irish, showcasing the work of some of the finest =
writers in that genre. The short story has been enthusiastically =
embraced by Irish authors, many of whom excel at it, which left the =
editor of this collection, Brian =C3=93 Conchubhair, with the unenviable =
task of selecting the best of their work. The result is a collection of =
consistent quality as well as great variety, from the surrealism of =
Miche=C3=A1l =C3=93 Conghaile=E2=80=99s stories to the more traditional =
work of P=C3=A1draic Breathnach, including younger writers such as =
Daith=C3=AD =C3=93 Muir=C3=AD as well as more established authors such =
as Alan Titley. This collection is intended to give readers a =
comprehensive overview of the short story in Irish over the last thirty =
years and to inspire them to go back to the original collections from =
which these stories have been drawn. =20
=20
Brian =C3=93 Conchubhair is from Tralee, Co. Kerry. He has lectured in =
Ireland, America and in Poland and is currently Assistant Professor of =
Irish in the University of Notre Dame, USA.

New Poetry Collection from Cathal =C3=93 Searcaigh
=20
A new poetry collection from Cathal =C3=93 Searcaigh, G=C3=BAr=C3=BA i =
gCl=C3=BAid=C3=ADn=C3=AD, has just been published by Cl=C3=B3 =
Iar-Chonnachta.
=20
This is the first new poetry collection from the Donegal poet in six =
years and =C3=93 Searcaigh fans will see in this work much of his =
signature style and themes, as well as the evident influence of his ties =
with Nepal. =C3=93 Searcaigh has described this collection as a =
distillation of his previous work, with the subjects of language, place =
and tradition still to the fore, but this time encompassing a larger =
terrain of emotions. =20
=20
He says of the poems in this collection:
They aspire towards the light but are more apprehensive of the dark than =
previous poems of mine. They emerge song-like from the murk of the =
psyche. They have a lonesomeness about them, a realization that we are =
all of us alone, however much we strive to be part of something. That =
is the d=C3=A1n, the destiny, of all us mortals. =20
=20
The poems in the book are presented in sequences, tending towards the =
idea of an epic, and include =E2=80=98Oile=C3=A1n na Marbh=E2=80=99, a =
poem which =C3=93 Searcaigh was commissioned to write last summer. It =
takes as its subject the small islands off the coast of Donegal where =
unbaptized children were buried. The poem was set to music by Neil =
Martin and performed by Maighread N=C3=AD Dhomhnaill and the West Ocean =
String Quartet during the Frankie Kennedy Winter School in December =
2006. The book features artwork by Ian Joyce.
=20
=C3=93 Searcaigh is from M=C3=ADn an Le=C3=A1 in the Donegal Gaeltacht, =
and spends several months every year in Nepal. He has an adopted son =
there, Prem Timalsina, and a grandson, Prashant, who is celebrated in =
two poems in the new collection, one of which lends its name to the =
book, G=C3=BAr=C3=BA i gCl=C3=BAid=C3=ADn=C3=AD, which translates as =
Guru in Nappies. Although =C3=93 Searcaigh has not published a =
collection of new poems in several years, he has not been idle. His =
first prose work, Seal i Neipeal, an account of his time in Nepal, was =
published by Cl=C3=B3 Iar-Chonnachta in 2004. He has also had several =
poetry collections in translation published, including By the Hearth in =
M=C3=ADn a=E2=80=99 Le=C3=A1, Arc Publications 2005, the Poetry Book =
Society Recommended Translation, with English translations by Frank =
Sewell, Denise Blake and Seamus Heaney. He is currently working on his =
memoirs.
