Recenzii

"The essays in this collection are to Irish studies what B. B. King and the Chicago Blues are to the Delta Blues: they draw on an existing body of work, virtuosically extend it, and at the same time electrify it, creating new forms in the process. In this respect, this collection is the book that many in Irish studies have been waiting for." Margot Backus, author of The Gothic Family Romance: Heterosexuality, Child Sacrifice, and the Anglo-Irish Colonial Order "Diane Negra has built a dynamic cultural studies anthology from the sophisticated research of a new generation of scholars. 'Irishness,' still an attractive or scandalous stereotype, is here understood through reflection on nation, ethnicity, class, and gender--reflection that is in turn animated by the obtuseness of 'Irishness' in its newly global situation. Expressing a variety of views through vivid examples, this anthology becomes itself exemplary." Dudley Andrew, Yale University

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"This sparkling, sophisticated, and original collection analyzes such diverse topics as the genealogical quest for Irish roots, Celtic white supremacists, and post-September 11 identity politics. Provocatively, Diane Negra suggests that 'Irishness' has become a way for Americans to claim a safe and fashionable ethnic identity. Essential reading for Irish and American cultural studies."--Elizabeth Cullingford, author of "Ireland's Others: Gender and Ethnicity in Irish Literature and Popular Culture"
