- Title:
- The Irish in Exile: Stories of Emigration
- Description:
- The Irish in Exile contains memoirs of Irish immigrants that came to Britain in the first half of the 20th century. Those who emigrated as children describe feeling very secure in Ireland, yet, once in England, recall great economic, social, and educational disadvantages. Others who came to London for work describe the impact of labour shortages in Ireland as drivers of immigration. Authors focus on the struggles of changing labour conditions and the daily impact of poverty.
