Locating the English Diaspora, 1500–2010
Autor Tanja Bueltmann, David Gleeson, Professor Donal Macrailden Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mai 2012
While the Scottish, Irish, German, Italian, Jewish, and Black diasporas are well known and much studied, there is virtual silence on the English. Why, then, is there no English diaspora? This international collection explores key issues about the nature and character of English identity during the creation of the cultures of the wider British world, including themes as wide-ranging as Yorkshire societies in New Zealand and St. George’s societies in Montreal, to Anglo-Saxonism in the Atlantic world and the English diaspora of the sixteenth century. The result is a lively volume that brings to light groundbreaking new conceptualizations.

Recenzii
"Very little has been written about the English overseas, and there are several really novel and informative essays in this collection. It should prompt much scholarly interest."
“Although the notion of an English disapora might seem like an oxymoron, given the usual association of ‘diaspora’ with a calamitous event that results in a migratory scattering, the editors of this volume make a strong case for considering the transnational connections forged by English emigrants apart from any claim to oppression or marginalization.”
