"The Great Famine (1845-51) looms large in the popular imagination of Irish migration and has a profound influence on the way the history of the Diaspora is written. This is hardly surprising, for, in a little over a decade, more than two million people disappeared from Ireland with over half of them emigrating. This exodus was greater than the total number of those who had left in the previous 250 years. The Great Famine and Beyond offers a bold and original re-examination of Irish migrants in modern Britain. Many leading names and several new researchers offer fresh perspectives and up-to-date research on this aspect of the Irish Diaspora."--Back cover.
