9780718502324: The Meaning of the Famine

Synopsis

A study of the great Irish Famine of 1845-50. Chapters on famine historiography and on writing the famine show that a "media studies" approach opens up new areas of debate. Connections between the Famine and the reshaping of Irish family life becomes clear through one man's response to the crisis: Vere Foster's emigration schemes. Chapters on the responses and experiences of the Irish communities throughout the world include studies of North America, Australia and the famine refugees who fled to England. This is the sixth and final volume in the series on "The Irish World Wide".
