 stock image, actual book may vary The story of the Irish diaspora represents a great historical triumph of the human spirit.Ireland has a present population of about four million, but it can claim seventy million descendants worldwide-seventy million people whose families turned tragedy into triumph, by fleeing poverty, hunger, and political and religious oppression to start a new life in far-flung lands.But for the Irish emigrants the pain of exile was muted by the acquisition of wealth and influence unimaginable back in their homeland.Over centuries, successive waves of Irish emigration have established an extraordinary spread of Irish communities and power bases from London to New York, from Australia to Argentina-a phenomenon which makes it possible to talk in more than just a metaphorical sense of an Irish empire. Wherever they went, Irish emigrants took with them a strong sense of nation and ancestry, a notional empire that sustained them and shaped them in exile, despite exposure to the host culture, one which was imbued with a sentimentalized image of the society they left behind.At the same time their presence created in the minds of their hosts an idea of Ireland and 'Irishness' that has become universal.In The Irish Empire Patrick Bishop looks at why, in the last four hundred years, to be brought up in Ireland meant being prepared to leave it, an Irish cultural mindset that has persisted almost to the present day.In doing so, he examines the Irish notion of separateness that goes as far back as the ancient Irish Gaels; the impact of the nineteenth-century Potato Famine on the pattern of Irish emigration; the early colonization of America and how the Irish provided the muscle that built the infrastructure of a new nation; the transplanted tension between Protestants and Catholics in their new lands; the enduring power of the Catholic Church; and the popular identification of British oppression as the engine that drove so many Irish abroad.From the origins of the scattering of the Irish over the centuries to the dreams of a mythical home nurtured by so many Irish migrants today, The Irish Empire is a penetrating exploration of the Irish diaspora, and of how the Irish succeeded in turning exile abroad into opportunity and, finally, worldwide recognition.

 stock image, actual book may vary Politics in the Republic of Ireland is now available in a fully revised fourth edition. Building on the success of the previous three editions, this text continues to provide an authoritative introduction to all aspects of politics in the Republic of Ireland. Written by some of the foremost experts on Irish politics, it explains, analyzes and interprets the background to Irish government and contemporary political processes. Crucially, it brings the student up-to-date with the very latest developments. New patterns of government formation, challenges to the established political parties, ever-deepening, if sometimes ambivalent, involvement in the process of European integration, a growing role in the politics of Northern Ireland and sustained discussion of gender issues are among these developments along with evidence, revealed by several tribunals of enquiry, that Irish politics is not as free of corruption as many had assumed.

The Celts have long been a subject of enormous interest, speculation, and misunderstanding. Before the Vikings, before the Anglo-Saxons, before the Roman Empire, the Celts dominated central and western Europe, but who exactly were the Celts and how have our perceptions of them changed throughout history? Arranged thematically, A Dark History: Celts examines all aspects of their culture from religion to society, myths and legends to warfare and their expansion and decline in Europe. Illustrated with 180 color and black-and-white photographs, maps, and artworks, A Dark History: Celts is an exciting history of one of the first great peoples of Europe.

 stock image, actual book may vary Lough Derg Ireland still reaches out today with a call to come apart, take time - and return home renewed and refreshed. This is time alone, time to examine the realities of daily living, to seek a deeper relationship with self, community and God, in a space tried and tested by pilgrims since the sixth century. In 'Places Apart: Lough Derg', Eileen Good examines each stage of the three day pilgrimage in detail, including the significance of fasting, praying and keeping vigil. The text is accompanied by Anne Cassidy's evocative photographs which capture the true spirit of this very special place. This book will be welcomed by many who love Lough Derg; it will inspire pilgrims and give others a taste of the spirituality of the pilgrimage.

 stock image, actual book may vary This bountiful, first-time-ever omnibus collection of more than fifty tales by one of Ireland's liveliest and most popular story writers offers holiday charm, human idiosyncrasy, and Gaelic humor by the Christmas stockingful. Drawing on the rich folk culture of County Kerry, John B. Keane brings new life to old custom in his portrayals of the special holiday dreams and everyday shortcomings of not-so-ordinary country people during the Christmas season. At the same time that he revels in the charms and eccentricities of the Irish, Keane also exposes the fallible souls that lie behind them. With enough good cheer to warm the heart throughout the holiday season and the long nights of winter, Keane's congenial volume revisits the Christmases celebrated by characters like Dotie Tupper and Johnny Naile, the doughty Canon Doyle and deaf Canon Cornelius Coodle, the amiable spendthrift Aenias Mackson and Hiccups O'Reilly, who disappears one Christmas Eve for seven years. Whether recounting "The Miracle of Ballybradawn," "The Great Christmas Raid at Balleybooley," or "The Order of MacMoolamawn," whether telling the tales of "The Magic Stoolin," "A Tasmanian Backhander," "The Fourth Wise Man," or the "Last Christmas Eve of the Twentieth Century," Keane bears delightful witness to the strengths and failings, the trials and triumphs, of the inhabitants in his eccentric corner of County Kerry, Ireland.
