Thank you all for your responses. The specific argument of my student that
has me perplexed is the claim that Cromwell enslaved 300,000 Irish and sent
them to the Caribbean and New England.

Cheers,
Matthew.

Hello Matthew,

I'm actually researching the Irish in Jamaica in the long eighteenth centur=
y for my PhD (QUB). There is quite some literature on this, but your first =
port of call really is Nini Rodgers 'Ireland, slavery and anti-slavery' (Ba=
singstoke, Palgrave, 2007). She presents the arguments very well and clearl=
y sets out the differences between the institution of black slavery and the=
concept of indentured servitude.=20

Her argument essentially is two-fold. Indentured servants weren't stripped =
of their identity in the way the African's were. The Irish indentured serva=
nts (mostly Catholic) continued to be viewed as white, English-speaking imm=
igrants - although still considered treacherous and rebellious. Secondly, t=
hey were treated differently, not in the least as the indenture was a set t=
ime-limit. Unlike the Africans they could get legal redress, often had a be=
tter diet and in the case of domestic servants, were furnished with clothes=
. Rodgers does account for the hardships that the indentured servants suffe=
red, particularly in 17th C Barbados.=20
=20
A few months back I wrote a short literature list for a fellow student, you=
'll find it here: http://jamaica-histories.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/irish-ind=

My understanding is that, in the 17th century, Irish (and Scottish)
prisoners of war (and those sentenced for "ordinary" crimes, such as
"vagabondage") were condemned to transportation for life and assigned to
servitude on plantations in Barbados and the Chesapeake, but also to New
England--especially under Cromwell but also under the Stuart kings. Also,
many Irish indentured servants were literally kidnapped from Munster ports
in the late 1600s and shipped to Barbados, etc. Then, there were those
(probably the majority?) that were more-or-less voluntary indentured
servants.

In the 18th century, all would have been voluntary emigrants, who either
paid their own passages or were indentured servants or redemptioners, excep=
t
for those who were convicts, sentenced in Ireland or Britain for various
crimes, and transported for terms of years or for life, mostly to Maryland.
As I recall, there were about 25,000 Irish convicts so sentenced, but I'd
need to check my notes. Also, shortly before and after the 1798 Rebellion,
many Irish prisoners were sentenced (for life?) to serve in what were calle=
d
the "condemned regiments," British army regiments serving in the malarial
West Indies, where most troops (voluntarily enlisted or "condemned") died.

In all modesty, I suggest reading the pertinent chapters in my IRISH
IMMIGRANTS IN THE LAND OF CANAAN (NY, 2003).

With regard to the 17th century, estimates of those transported
involuntarily by Cromwell, etc., vary widely, largely (and sadly) depending
on the historians' political persuasions; revisionists usually adopt a
"minimalist" approach.

Hi all,

At the risk of blatant self-promotion, I recommend the chapter in my Washed=
by the Gulf Stream: the Historic and Geographic Relation of Irish and Cari=
bbean Literature (Delaware 2008) that details the history of the Irish in t=
he Caribbean. There are a number of sources that I discuss that your stude=

the "rhetoric" of Irish slavery.

Matthew,

That number seems rather exaggerated. He has probably read the 'Many headed=
Hydra' by Linebaugh and Rediker. Carl & Roberta Bridenbaugh 'No Peace Beyo=

CALL FOR PAPERS

Crossroads: Europe, Migration and Culture

Two-day conference at The University of Copenhagen
October 24-25, 2013.

“Migration throws objects, identities and ideas into flux” (Kobena
Mercer: Exiles, Diasporas & Strangers, 2008).
“The migrant is not on the margin of modern experience – he is
Absolutely central to it” (John Berger: A Seventh Man, 1975/2010).

Willingly or unwillingly, people have migrated to, from and within
Europe for centuries, but with the downfall of empires and the rise of
The European welfare states in the second half of the 20th century,
Migration to Europe – especially from the former colonies – reached an
Unprecedented scale. In addition, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the
Subsequent dismantling of communism, and the enlargement of the
European Union have also led to a significant increase in
Intra-European migration – a phenomenon that the current economic
Crisis is likely to intensify even further. Meanwhile, refugees from
The world’s conflict zones and destitute areas are continually setting
Out on journeys of hope to what they imagine to be a European Eden,
Only to discover that contemporary Europe is in many ways more of a
Well guarded fortress.

These different kinds of migratory movements have thrown European
Culture(s) into flux. A variety of cultures which previously had little
Or no contact with each other are brought together on European soil
Where they intersect, confront each other, ‘cross-polinate’, and/or
Live entirely parallel, separate lives right next to each other.

Under the heading Crossroads the conference wishes to address this
Cultural flux. The emphasis is on the aesthetic expressions of the
Migrant experience as such as well as on the consequences of migration
For European cultures and identities at large. While contributions may,
Of course, take their cue from sociological and anthropological
Research, the focus of the conference is distinctly cultural and
Aesthetic. Not only because these aspects seem to be somewhat
Under-investigated, but also because cultural artefacts have the
Potential to make visible what is otherwise largely hidden, even to
Thorough sociological analyses – aspects such as emotions, attitudes,
Hope, resentment, longing, etc.

We invite both theoretical contributions and analytical papers
Addressing singular or comparative case studies of the cultural and
Aesthetic dimensions of migration to and within Europe. The conference
Is cross-disciplinary and includes both literature, theatre, cinema,
Music, the visual arts, electronic and digital media, etc.

Proposals may include, but are not limited to the following topics:

- The journey to and arrival in ‘Fortress Europe’ as represented in
Cultural artefacts.

- Aesthetic expressions of the diversity of the migrant experience:
Gender and generational differences as well as differences pertaining
To diverse countries of origin and host countries, differences in
Religion, education, and socio-economic status, etc.

- Aesthetic hybridity, mixedness, cross-polinations, etc. In European
Cultural artefacts.

- The representation of women with migrant background – by themselves
And by others.

- Post-migrant, European youth cultures: hip-hop, bhangra, Kanak, beur,
Etc.

- The position of Islam in recent European culture.

- The changing physical aspect of Europe’s urban centres and
Peripheries, including possible cultural exchanges within Europe’s
‘global cities’, between immigrants and ‘original’ European citizens as
Well as among immigrants with different cultural backgrounds.

- The presence and reception of elements of the migrants’ original
Cultures in Europe – ‘multicultural chic’ or genuine cultural
Eye-openers?

- Discussion of the concept of ‘multiculturalism’ in a European context.

- Discussion of what it means to be European today, based on cultural
And aesthetic expressions by persons with migrant background as well as
By ‘old’ Europeans who, at one end of the spectrum, may embrace
Multiculturalism or, at the other end, turn to radical nationalism.

We welcome proposals of no more than 300 words. Please include a
One-page CV with contact details (mail, email and telephone) and
information regarding institutional affiliation. All files must be
submitted in .pdf format to evaj[at]hum.ku.dk no later than January 31,
2013. Approved participants will be notified by early March, 2013.

The conference is organised by the Network for Migration and Culture
(http://migrationandculture.ku.dk/)which is funded by the Danish
Research Council.

Further to Ireland and Slavery ~

Also of interest is recent work by Nini Rodgers (emerita, Queens University
Belfast), showing, with close documentation, that Ireland's relationship to
slavery was complex, if even a bit fraught (morally fraught). In any case,
this entire matter is proving to be a large, sensitive subject in Irish
Stds, one which we've yet to fully assess. But activity is high, and that's
what counts.

The Art of Movement and Transformation:

Ireland and the Americas Looking Forward

As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, we are facing a
socio-economic crisis which, due to the global nature of the time we are
living in, is reaching every corner of the world. In their multiple
expressions, the Social Sciences, Humanities, Politics, Economics,
Journalism and Media Studies, as well as Linguistics, Literary and =
Cultural
Studies are being affected and trying to creatively respond to the =
crisis.

Crises also contribute to the weakening of borders, across which many =
people
choose to move in search of improved conditions of life and the pursuit =
of
personal dreams. Migration processes play a crucial role in critical =
world
scenarios, as they are propelled by the hopes of those who leave and =
also
re-signified by those who stay behind. National borders, however, are =
not
the only ones we dare to cross; there are also class, race and gender
barriers that are in the process of fading or of being dismantled and
erased. In every crisis, then, there is opportunity and, in every
opportunity, the chance for the art of movement and transformation to be
enacted.=20

In times of crisis, what and how do we learn from History and from the
visions of our predecessors? How does revisiting the past inform the =
ways in
which we look forward?=20

What do societies do to find relief in threatening environments? How =
do
individuals respond at the personal level? Is there room for hope, =
dreams
and pleasure? What are the visions and illusions that we have regarding =
our
future? How can they configure utopias, heterotopias or dystopias?

In the first century of the new millennium, what is the mission of those
responsible for the world=92s future and how is the world=92s population
affected by those decisions?=20

How do we creatively react to the movement and transformation of our =
times?
How do we present and represent both personal and communal crises along
spatial and temporal axes? How do the realities we live in, and the =
borders
we cross, shape diverse spaces, places, or non-places? How do our
representations compare with those in similar situations in the past?

* * * * * *

This multi -, inter-, and cross -disciplinary conference and symposium =
aims
at providing a ground on which to discuss all the possible answers to =
the
questions above at the crossroads between Ireland, Iberia and the =
Americas.

We invite the submission of summaries of papers or posters covering the
following study areas:

=A7 Ireland and the Americas in times of crisis: Common views or =
different
strategies?=20

=A7 Learning from History: Revisiting the visions of our predecessors=20

dystopias.
Personal hopes, dreams and pleasure

Opening to the public on September 20, Strangers in a Strange Land will

new
sources and methods to help illustrate the importance of crime to Irish
studies.

ULSTER-AMERICAN HERITAGE SYMPOSIUM
June 25-28, 2014, Athens, Georgia

Theme: Contacts, Contests, and Contributions: Ulster-Americans in War and
Society

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Twentieth Biennial meeting of the Ulster-American Heritage Symposium in
Athens, Georgia, will be held Wednesday, June 25 - Saturday, June 28, 2014.
The UAHS has met every two years since 1976, alternating between
co-sponsoring universities, museums, and historical agencies in Northern
Ireland and the United States, to encourage and promote public awareness of
the shared history and culture of Ulster and North America in a congenial
and relaxing setting. The Symposium provides the premier forum for scholars
presenting new research and ideas on these connections, and though
Scotch-Irish is inevitably the primary one, the program will have a
broad-based, cross community scope.
The Athens 2014 symposium intends to bring together leading and
emerging scholars in a program that will include papers, lectures,
discussions, performances, and events. Given that the symposium is by
tradition and design inter-disciplinary, original papers are solicited in a
broad range of relevant fields: history, language and literature,
archaeology, art history, geography, folklore and folklife, religion,
anthropology, music, economics, political relations, architecture,
genealogy, and museum studies, among others.
The Athens 2014 theme, "Contacts, Contests, and Contributions:
Ulster-Americans in War and Society," will aim to explore the transatlantic
emigration, settlement, and continued experience of people from the north
of Ireland, and to present new research that challenges habitual ways of
thinking about these emigrants, their roles in American life, and their
legacies. The 2014 Symposium especially invites new scholarship in two
areas: 1) Interactions with indigenous peoples (especially the Cherokee
Nation) and other groups in North America such as German Americans and
African Americans over the past four centuries; and 2) Participation in the
American Civil War by emigrants from Ireland and their descendants,
building on what has been written to date on the role of Ireland for the
Union and to a lesser extent for the Confederacy. With the United States in
the midst of commemorating the war's Sesquicentennial, it seems appropriate
to expand upon those of Ulster background, Scotch-Irish or otherwise. Added
emphasis will be placed on encouraging new scholars from graduate programs
across the country and beyond to become involved in furthering our
knowledge of Ulster-American heritage.
To propose a paper at the conference, please send
electronically by December 2, 2013 a 250-word abstract with cover letter
indicating your name, postal and email addresses, phone number,
institutional affiliation (if any), equipment needs, and a biographical

time presenters will receive confirmation of acceptance and information on
hotels and local arrangements. Registration fees will be waived for

=C9IRE-IRELAND: CALL FOR PAPERS

Eire-Ireland: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Irish Studies welcomes
submissions for a 2014 special issue on Irish Crime from 1921 to the
present. The guest editors seek essays that explore crime and criminality
in Ireland from historical and literary perspectives, as well as
submissions that draw upon methods including (but not confined to)
criminology, geography, film studies, the visual arts, and music, in order
to broaden our understanding of the nature and significance of crime in
modern Irish society and culture.

We welcome submissions that examine such areas as crimes against persons
and property, white-collar crime, organized crime, and the drugs economy,
along with studies that draw connections or distinctions between =93ordinar=
y=94
crime and =93political=94 crime, and essays that trace the changing legal,
cultural, and popular definitions of crime. Likewise of interest are
contributions that explore Irish crime in literature and film, the
relationship between journalism and the public perception of crime, as well
as any work that brings to light new sources and methods to help illustrate
the importance of crime to Irish studies.

The deadline for submissions, which should be between 6000 and 8000 words,
is 1 September 2013. All submissions will be subject to peer review.
Literature & Arts submissions should be prepared according to the MLA
Style Manual; History & Social Sciences submissions should adhere to the
Chicago Manual of Style.

Dear Colleagues

CALL FOR PAPERS

Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland

Twenty-First Annual Conference, Wednesday 26 - Thursday 27 June 2013

Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne

'Crime, Violence and the Irish in the Nineteenth Century'

The Society invites proposals for its twenty-first annual conference which
will address the theme of crime and violence in nineteenth-century Ireland
and amongst Irish communities abroad. Crime, social protest, violence,
insurgency, and responses to them, have long been fruitful topics of
investigation for Irish historians yet they remain as relevant today as
ever. Nineteenth-century Ireland experienced widespread social and
political upheaval. Outbreaks of agrarian unrest, sectarian violence,
increasing urbanisation, the growth of popular nationalism all presented
challenges to the social order and were met with an official response which
included centrally-controlled policing, recurrent coercive legislation and
the expansion of the criminal justice system. We welcome individual
twenty-minute papers or proposals for themed panels from scholars in all
relevant disciplines. Postgraduates and early-career researchers are
particularly welcome. Topics which might usefully be explored, but are by
no means limited to, include:

Secret societies: membership, aims, methods

Urban crime: combinations and work-related violence

Policing: challenges and responses

The churches: clerical reactions to crime and violence

Criminal justice system: efficacy and criticisms

Cultural responses: crime and violence in literature, music, theatre.

Historiography: new approaches to crime and violence

The Irish abroad: the transported and disaffected revolutionaries

Keynote Speakers: Professor David Fitzpatrick (Trinity College Dublin) and
Professor Virginia Crossman (Oxford Brookes)

Convenors: Professor Don MacRaild (Northumbria University) and Dr Kyle
Hughes (Northumbria University). Please send proposals (200 word abstract)
for twenty-minute papers or themed panels to
kyle2.hughes[at]northumbria.ac.uk by 28 February 2013.
