Items related to The Irish Empire
The Irish Empire is the sumptuous companion to BBC2's new five-part series on the Irish diaspora.The story of the Irish diaspora represents a great historical triumph of the human spirit. Ireland has a present population of 4 million, but it can claim 70 million descendants world-wide-70 million people whose families turned tragedy into triumph, by fleeing poverty, hunger, political and religious oppression and started a new life in far-flung lands. These descendant's devotion to their homeland has created a strong sense of identity which makes it possible to talk in more than just a metaphorical sense of an Irish Empire.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, world-wide recognition.

Synopsis:
Linked to a five-part BBC2 television series on the Irish diaspora, this illustrated account makes use of letters and other writings by ordinary emigrants and families who fled poverty, hunger, and political and religious oppression to start a new life in distant parts. Their descendants are now estimated to number some 70 million around the world, and those descendants' devotion to their "homeland" has maintained a strong and enduring sense of Irish identity.
