Shares of suffering
This article examines transnational mothering during the Great Famine (1845–1852) and the emigrations of the era. It analyses epistolary sources to ask how women in mid-nineteenth-century Ireland used their roles as mothers to claim agency and demonstrate authority. It complicates contemporary descriptions of the suffering mother and the sacrificing mother, asking how and why mothers attempted to continue parenting their absent children by displa…
To Leave the Land So as Not to Leave the Land
This chapter seeks to answer the question as to why, even though subsistence conditions militated against continuing to eke out an existence on unproductive holdings, many inhabitants in Ireland's western counties did just that. Particularly in the west of Ireland, Irish women and men found ways to remain on their lands and in their dwellings despite the enduring proclivity for permanent migration from Ireland during the second half of the ninete…
The Irish rent … and mended
In this paper, traditional folkloric forms that were ritualised and practised in pre-Famine Ireland are examined. So, too, are the strategies that storytellers employed in disseminating the imaginative aspects of the oral tradition to their audiences. Following the disruption of the storytelling tradition precipitated by the Great Famine and emigration, the fabric of Irish storytelling lay threadbare, both in Ireland and abroad. Of interest is th…

Roman Catholic Irish nuns formed a large part of the American Civil War nursing experience in both the North and the South. In fact, when Confederate President Robert E. Lee beseeched the assistance of Irish-born Patrick Lynch, then Bishop of Charleston, South Carolina, to provide nurses for his hospitals, Roman Catholic sisters from a local convent were pressed into service. Sister M. De Sales (Brennan), born in County Kilkenny, Ireland, became …

Accountability is defined as the quality or state of being accountable, or the obligation or willingness to accept responsibility. However, as anyone who has worked in development or ever made a poor assumption regarding cultural similarity knows, modes of accountability vary from culture to culture. One of the key dilemmas of working with "natives" of any stripe is confronting the workings of cross-cultural understanding in terms of what behavio…
Introduction
This issue of PA contains two sets of articles dealing with anthropological engagement and accountability, and bridges the full spectrum of community involvement from planning initiatives to ethnographic reporting. Anthropologist Diane Austin, editor of the first collection, reminds us that as anthropologists and social science practitioners, we struggle to understand the social, economic, and political structure of societies. We pay attention to…

Commentary Immersed in Local Knowledge
We Americans who came to live...in Gleann Cholm Cille, Ireland, felt a blurring of distinctions when it came to being tourists versus being locals. The fact of the matter was that we were tourists...for all of us, the first time in Gleann Cholm Cille. We had no idea what to expect and no idea what we were going to see... We visited Dublin, Belfast, Derry, and took in all the local sites... [However,] because the majority of our time was spent in …
