- Summary:
- Volume two in a four volume set on memory and Irish identity, this collection of eighteen essays on the cultural memories of diaspora populations examines the creation of diaspora memory as distinct from actual memory and explores the transmission of mythical narratives of "home" to subsequent generations. Topics discussed include "chronotopic" memory in contemporary Canadian-Irish literature, race and Irish cultural memory, private memories and public displays, traditional music and memory in Ireland, and Gaelic games and the construction of memory and identity. Contributors include academics in history and related fields from American, Irish and Canadian institutions. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
