Nostalgic ecomodernism
Though Charleston is known as "The City Where History Lives" and the South Carolina Lowcountry is famous for its meticulous historical preservation, in recent years, futuristic depictions of current and projected coastal sea-level rise have dominated public discourse. This article examines the aesthetics of renderings of prospective green infrastructure projects in public proposals for mitigating the impacts of storm surge and sea-level rise in t…
Racial hydrologies
In the South Carolina Lowcountry, near-annual hurricanes and record-breaking sea levels have led to disastrous flooding, overwhelming the region's historical tidal infrastructures and entrenched racial geographies. In response, Lowcountry governments, institutions, and residents have undertaken efforts at "perimeter protection," raising dikes and seawalls to safeguard selected urban and rural plantation spaces from tidal flooding. Although perime…
Old Mobilities'? Transatlantic Women from the West of Ireland 1880s-1920s
The 'new mobilities paradigm' set out by Sheller and Urry (2006) and others urges social scientists to centre many interlocking mobilities in their analyses of contemporary social change, challenging taken-for-granted sedentarism. Drawing on the example of Irish women's chain migration from small farms in the West of Ireland to the East coast of the USA in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this paper explores a longer history of …
New perspectives on women and the Irish diaspora
Personal lives
The burst of writing about Irish women in the diaspora after the 1980s, led by Mary Lennon, Marie McAdam and Joanne O'Brien's Across the Water: Irish Women's Lives in Britain, coincided with the ‘narrative turn’ in the social sciences and literary representation. This paper uses Carol Smart's concepts of Personal Life (2007) – memory, biography, embeddedness, relationality and the imaginary – to examine a range of ways in which personal narrative…
Including the Irish
The Irish have become embedded in the ‘diaspora space’ of England so that their presence is taken for granted. This article explores the ways in which films made by English directors include Irish characters in apparently unplanned and incidental ways which reflect their own assumptions and those of their audiences about the ‘natural’ place of the Irish in English social landscapes. It interrogates the understandings and intentions of the directo…
Whiteness and Diasporic Irishness
Whiteness is often detached from the notion of diaspora in the recent flurry of interest in the phenomenon, yet it is a key feature of some of the largest and oldest displacements. This paper explores the specific contexts of white racial belonging and status over two centuries in two main destinations of the Irish diaspora, the USA and Britain. Its major contribution is a tracing of the untold story of 'How the Irish became white in Britain' to …
Strangers on the Inside
Domestic servants are widely recognised as prime ‘others’ to white, middle-class male English householders in the later nineteenth century. However the symbolic role of the racialised identities of Irish women who were domestic servants in constructing the boundaries of white middle-class English masculinity is often overlooked. This study uses both qualitative and quantitative sources to explore the presence and significance of Irish servants in…
The limitations of whiteness and the boundaries of Englishness
The focus of this article is the second-generation Irish in England. It is based on data collected as part of the Irish 2 project, which examined processes of identity formation amongst the second-generation Irish population in England and Scotland. The article examines and maps identifications and positionings of second-generation Irish people and discusses how two hegemonic domains - Ireland and England - intersect in the lives of the children …
Irish women in the diaspora
Family stories, public silence
Formal narratives of history, especially that of colonial oppression, have been central to the construction of national identities in Ireland. But the Irish diasporic community in Britain has been cut off from the reproduction of these narratives, most notably by their absence from the curriculum of Catholic schools, as result of the unofficial ‘denationalisation’ pact agreed by the Church in the 19th century (Hickman, 1995). The reproduction of …
Outsiders Inside
Notions of diaspora are central to contemporary debates about 'race', ethnicity, identity and nationalism. Yet the Irish diaspora, one of the oldest and largest, is often excluded on the grounds of 'whiteness'. Outsiders Inside explores the themes of displacement and the meanings of home for these women and their descendants. Juxtaposing the visibility of Irish women in the United States with their marginalization in Britain, Bronwen Walter chall…

Challenging the black/white binary
The need to disaggregate, and rename the White category created in the 1991 Cencus is powerfully argued by Roger Ballard in his 1996 paper. I would like to respond to that argument, drawing on research findings from the recently published report for the Commission for Radical Equality (CRE), Discrimination and the Irish Community, and examine specific ways in which the ethnic-group classification adopted in the census unthinkingly reflects racist…
Irishness, Gender, and Place
National identities are profoundly gendered, yet difference is subordinated to unity. In this paper the largely unacknowledged intersections of Irishness and gender in Britain are explored. It is argued that Irishness has at least two distinct dimensions, each gendered in ways reflecting the colonial relationship between Britain and Ireland. One is the 'roots' of the collectivity, mediated through the diaspora experience. The second is the constr…
Deconstructing Whiteness
The Irish are largely invisible as an ethnic group in Britain but continue to be racialized as inferior and alien Others. Invisibility has been reinforced by academic treatment Most historians have assumed that a framework of assimilation is appropriate and this outcome is uncritically accepted as desirable. Sociologists on the other hand have excluded the Irish from consideration, providing tacit support for the 'myth of homogeneity' of white pe…
Ethnicity and Irish Residential Distribution
The link between residential and social differentiation remains an acknowledged 'research gap'. This paper uses the empirical study of recent Irish settlement in Luton, England, to elucidate the processes leading to residential clustering and relate them to ethnic identity. This settlement must be seen in the context of labour migration, in which the Irish were formerly a 'racialized' fraction of the British working class. Census data highlight s…
The Geography of Irish Migration to Britain since 1939 with Special Reference to Luton and Bolton

Time-Space Patterns of Second-Wave Irish Immigration into British Towns
A time-space model, based on Hagerstrand's (1969) methodology, is used to illustrate the diffusion of a migration-stream into new areas at destination and the associated changes in community characteristics at different stages in the settlement sequence." Published regional census data and interviews with Irish-born residents of England provide data on Irish migration into and within Britain since the 1930s
