An Anthropology of the Irish in Belgium, 1st ed. 2020 Belonging, Identity and Community in Europe
Auteur : O’ Dubhghaill Sean
The first anthropological account of the Irish diaspora in Europe in the 21st century, this book provides a culture-centric examination of the Irish diaspora. Focusing less on an abstract or technical definition of Irish self-identification, the author allows members of this group to speak through vignettes and interview excerpts, providing an anthropological lens that allows the reader to enter a frame of self-reference. This book therefore provides architecture to understand how diasporic communities might understand their own identities in a new way and how they might reconsider the role played by mobility in changing expressions of identity. Providing firsthand, experiential and narrative insight into the Irish diaspora in Europe, this volume promises to contribute an anthropological perspective to historical accounts of the Irish overseas, theoretical works in Irish studies, and sociological examinations of Irish identity and diaspora.
A unique anthropological frame that privileges individual experiences of Irish diasporic identity
Examines “Irishness” as related to and distinct from “Europeanness”
Probes questions of authenticity, language, geography, culture, mobility, gender, and identity
