Description
Summary:This new study offers unique insights into the variety of Irish American identities and nationalist ideologies as well as on the larger question of what if meant to be 'ethnic' in the U.S. during and after America's entry into World War 1. 'Reshaping' Atlantic Connections uses the mission of the American-born Irish leader Eamon de Valera to the U.S. from June 1919 to December 1920 to explore these questions. Dr. Cosi argues that on the basis of de Valera's American mission, neither Ireland nor Irish America can be understood as a separate entity. When the two are analysed together, fresh prespectives emerge on the nature of diaspora, especially in its political dimensions.
