New Irish Studies books series to incorporate emigration and diaspora
By Noreen Bowden | November 17, 2008
A new series of Irish Studies books will include emigration and the diaspora in its explorations of the concepts of Ireland and “Irishness”. In the words of publisher Peter Lang (oxford) Ltd, The Reimagining Ireland series “interrogates Ireland’s past and present and suggests possibilities for the future by looking at Ireland’s literature, culture and history and subjecting to them to the most up-to-date critical appraisals associated with sociology, literary theory, historiography, political science and theology.
Besides emigration and the diaspora, other issues to be explored include Irish writing in English and Gaelic, the North, economic development, spirituality and religion, immigration, globalisation, postcolonialism, modernity/postmodernity, Irish music and dance and more.
Proposals should be sent either to Dr Eamon Maher at eamon.maher@
