Book Description:

What happened when the Irish went to live in a Spanish-speaking country, beyond the colonial borders of the British Empire? Did they follow the patterns of settlement in Australia, Canada, England or the United States? Did they integrate into the receiving society or persist to maintain their Irish identity throughout generations? How did they perceive themselves, British, Argentines or Irelandes?  Did they evolve from colonised to colonisers? This book provides a variety of answers through the analysis of unpublished emigrant letters and memories.
