Demography, State and Society

Enda Delaney is Reader in Modern History at the University of Edinburgh.

"This is one of the most significant works to date of the history of Irish migration in any period or place. It fills a yawning gap in the historiography with a lucid, intelligent and wide-ranging analysis of some of the most important but little-studied aspects of one of Europe's most important population movements." Donald M. MacRaild, University of Northumbria at Newcastle "This substantive study of Irish migration to Britain during the middle decades of the twentieth century succeeds in filling an important gap in the Irish experience...Delaney has produced an indispensable contribution to the ongoing debate in Irish diaspora studies." History "Exhaustive, well written, thoroughly researched, and wider-ranging than might be inferred from the title." International History Review
