<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>-- Fanning is a well-regarded senior scholar of migration and social policy at University College Dublin. He is an adept, eloquent, and engaging public intellectual on these topics in media outlets in Ireland and the U.K. (Twitter account: @BryanFanning). -- The topic is important on a global scale and has perpetual relevance. This is particularly the case as the Republic of Ireland navigates the post-Brexit future with Northern Ireland. -- The work adds to the list building goals in that it is a very clearly written account by an expert who is hoping to welcome both scholars and general readers into a conversation of vital importance. -- The main audience will be scholars of Ireland and scholars of immigration and refugee studies.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Ireland has been shaped by centuries of emigration as millions escaped poverty, famine, religious persecution, and war. But what happens when we reconsider this well-worn history by exploring the ways Ireland has also been shaped by immigration?</p><p>From slave markets in Viking Dublin to social media use by modern asylum seekers, <i>Migration and the Making of Ireland</i> identifies the political, religious, and cultural factors that have influenced immigration to Ireland over the span of four centuries. A senior scholar of migration and social policy, Bryan Fanning offers a rich understanding of the lived experiences of immigrants. Using firsthand accounts of those who navigate citizenship entitlements, gender rights, and religious and cultural differences in Ireland, Fanning reveals a key yet understudied aspect of Irish history. </p><p>Engaging and eloquent, <i>Migration and the Making of Ireland</i> provides long overdue consideration to those who made new lives in Ireland even as they made Ireland new.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This book is particularly to be welcomed at a time when European ethno-nationalism of the ugliest kind is making a return across the continent in such countries as Russia, Hungary, France and even England. Fanning's book is a fresh and fascinating survey of nation-making, not as the affirmation of some kind of blood-right, but as ongoing conversation, occasional conflict, adaptation and change.</p>--Piaras Mac Éinrí "Irish Times"<br><br><p>In relating the stories of these groups Fanning does an excellent job of painting contours of the big picture with broad strokes on historical movements and statistical trends, and then also zooming in on individual stories through first-person accounts by new arrivals.</p>--Sam Tranum "Dublin Inquirer"<br><br><p>It is a wonderfully easy, 'live and let live', non-judgmental and generous view of what a country should be, and a suitable riposte to the toxic xenophobes who are on the rise in Europe today. Fanning charts just how rich this experience can be.</p>--Eamon Delaney "Irish Independent"<br><br><p>This is 'the first comprehensive history of migration to and from the island of Ireland', according to the publisher's blurb. It certainly is comprehensive as it goes back to Neolithic times and up to more recent arrivals of Nigerians, Poles, Romanians and Muslims.</p>--Joe Carroll "Irish Catholic"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Bryan Fanning is Professor of Migration and Social Policy at University College Dublin. His books include<i> Histories of the Irish Future</i> and <i>Irish Adventures in Nation-Building</i>.</p>
