Irish Migrants in Modern Wales

Nine essays by O'Leary (history, U. of Wales, Aberystwyth) and other scholars consider the experiences of Irish migrants to Wales, comparing them with those of other migrants and offering case studies of Irish settlement in a number of Welsh towns. Attention is also given to anti-Irish protest movements of the late 19th century and to the later imprisonment of Irish Republicans. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
