Hello all!

In my year-long Irish Studies class at Evergreen State College I do a =
segment on the Irish in Hollywood; specifically, Irish and =
Irish-American actors, themes, and contexts from 1935-1975. At this =
point I have been cobbling together film clips on youtube, but an "Irish =
in film" documentary would be awfully nice. My searches online have =
yielded only a few minutes of clips featuring Pierce Brosnan discussing =
his film company and people talking about how inexpensive and fabulous =
it was to film Braveheart there. That's not quite what I need.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sean Williams

Dear Bill,

I would be grateful if you would share this message with friends and
colleagues on the Irish Diaspora list...

I have begun the rescue of my Irish Diaspora Studies material that was
heretofore trapped in pre-digital age print. In particular I have long felt
that I have a duty to the brave contributors to the my 6 volume series, The
Irish World Wide, 1992-1997.

I have begun to place material in various places on the web - notably here
on a free Mediafire web site...

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ooj5btdttc9y4/Documents

The Irish World Wide, 6 volumes, are ONLINE there, as not too enormous pdf
files, one pdf file for each volume...

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/f9ccfk929abbj/

THE IRISH WORLD WIDE
History, Heritage, Identity
6 Volumes
Hardback 1992-1997

Edited by
PATRICK O'SULLIVAN

The 6 volumes of The Irish World Wide are Patrick O'Sullivan, ed., 1.
PATTERNS OF MIGRATION 2. THE IRISH IN THE NEW COMMUNITIES 3. THE CREATIVE
MIGRANT 4. IRISH WOMEN AND IRISH MIGRATION 5. RELIGION AND IDENTITY 6. THE
MEANING OF THE FAMINE

As far as I am concerned anyone can download those pdf files, and use them
for scholarly or educational purposes.

There is a little more work to be done - in splitting the large files into
separate chapters and in making sure that the OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) works, so that the chapters can be saved as text.

All this solves a recurring problem, the steady stream of requests for
copies of specific chapters from younger or isolated scholars. The Irish
World Wide series rarely offered the last word on any subject. But often it
did offer the first word, as shown by - for example - repeated requests for
chapters by Ide B. O'Carroll on sexual abuse, Barry M. Coldrey on religious
orders and violence, Liam Greenslade on mental health, Kevin Rockett on
film, Karen P. Corrigan on the Irish language, my own chapter on jokes and
my chapter on Famine Theory... And so on...

If anyone needs to contact me with any technical query I can be contacted on

Dear Sean

There have been two recent documentaries on the Irish in Hollywood. The fir=
st, Emeralds in Tinseltown, is available on Amazon etc. The second was broa=
dcast on RTE and is narrated by Ryan Tubridy so not commercially available.=
It covers much the same ground. For early cinema, pre-Hollywood, see Blazi=

Forwarded from H-Albion. This may be of interest to some. For those not
from the US, AHA refers to the American Historical Association. The 2015
meeting will be in New York City, January 2-5.


My name is Timothy Forest, and I am an assistant professor of history at the
University of Cincinnati - Blue Ash campus. I am hoping to assemble a panel
for the 2015 AHA, around the theme of assisted immigration/colonization. My
specialization is assisted resettlement/colonization within the British and
French empires in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The paper I
would like to present as a part of this panel would be on attempts by the
British and the Canadian governments to establish a "New Ireland" and a "New
Scotland" in western Canada in the 1880s. I am open to this either being a
panel solely on immigration in the British Empire/Commonwealth, or a
comparative one that deals with multiple empires/colonizations.

If you have a paper/paper proposal/idea that you would like to present and
that fits well within the umbrella listed above, please contact me directly
at timothy.forest[at]uc.edu with a brief biographical sketch and your
presentation "pitch," and I will respond ASAP.

I would also be interested in volunteers for a chair/discussant.

Dear Bill,

I would be grateful if you would share this with friends and colleagues...

Thank you all for all your encouragement...

I have now updated the files, especially The Irish World Wide files, at...

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ooj5btdttc9y4/Documents

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/f9ccfk929abbj/

It is still possible to download the 6 volumes of Patrick O'Sullivan, The
Irish World Wide, as 6 individual, large pdf files. And you are encouraged
to do so.

But each volume is now also separated out into individual chapters - each
chapter in its own pdf file, and easy to download and carry around. This
solves the problem I mentioned before, of requests for copies of specific
chapters.

Obviously I would like you to leap in and grab anything that interests you,
the work of that special scholar, or the demonstration of that intriguing
approach, or about a special place. But, if you want to test the deep end,
I recommend that you begin by reading my Introduction to Volume 5, Religion
and Identity - gives an idea of the style and the method...

Dear Bill:



Thank you for laying before the IR-D List my recent article in the Journal
of American Ethnic History on "Caricaturing Race and Nation in the Irish
American Press, 1870-1880: A Transnational Perspective."



May I also draw to the List's attention that the article is accompanied by
a digitized, online appendix of over 40 cartoons published in the
Irish-American press (primarily the New York Irish World) during this
period. My hope in compiling this collection was that my friends and
colleagues in various disciplines might find these images useful in their
own teaching and/or research. The link to the appendix, which is freeof
charge, is here:



http://www.press.uillinois.edu/journals/jaeh/media/Caricaturing_Race/



Finally, I must also note that the lead article in this latest issue is an
excellent essay by recent Boston College graduate Hidetaka Hirota entitled
"'The Great Entrepot for Medicants': Foreign Poverty and Immigration
Control in New York State to 1882," which includes insightful discussion of
nineteenth-century Irish poverty and migration.

Communities of Communication: Newspapers and Periodicals in Britain and
Ireland from 1900 to the Present

12-13 September 2014, ICOSS, University of Sheffield 219 Portobello,
Sheffield S1 4DP

Organised by the Centre for the Study of Journalism and History, University
of Sheffield

As part of an ongoing initiative to map current research in British and
Irish press history, this conference will provide a forum for the discussion
of a broad range of thematic and methodological approaches to
twentieth-century journalism. The conference aims to contribute to a planned
series on British and Irish newspapers and periodicals commissioned by
Edinburgh University Press under the general editorship of Professor Martin
Conboy (Sheffield) and Professor David Finkelstein (Dundee). It provides a
significant opportunity for scholars to develop work based on fresh
research, including the various digital resources now available.

We welcome papers addressing any of the following areas:

* individual publications of note; important/significant
editors/owners/journalists
* thematic overviews, particularly ones which take concepts such as 'free
speech' or the political economy of the press
* postcolonial impacts across and within the nation states of England,
Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
* assessments of regional and national identity, including the role of
publications in articulating ethnic and gendered identities throughout the
period
* the movement of print information across space and time
* print and media networks and communication structures
* contextualisations of press and newspaper activity within a social history
of communication
* contextualisations of print media as shaped by technological, political
and cultural forces
* surveys of the extension and expansion of readership
* patterns of migration and national, regional, global communication
exchanges
* analyses of newspaper and periodical publishing in specific cities or
regions
* the newspaper and periodical press as a physical artifact
* aspects of visual culture, including graphic design, illustration and
technological developments in both newspaper and periodical press.
* the commodification and professionalisation of journalism and the
periodical press
* the role of the reader in press interactions, such as through letters
pages, editorials and responses to and engagements with media campaigns.


20-minute presentations are invited which engage with any of the broad
themes above. Proposals of 500 words should be sent by 30 April to
m.conboy[at]sheffield.ac.uk , outlining which strand of the call will be
addressed.

I thought that he was American but I see from the TELEGRAPH obituary
linked below that he was a Canadian.
The TELEGRAPH piece focusses on his Second World War experiences,
including a gruelling term as POW, and doesn't say how he got interested in
Irish history. Had he Irish ancestry, or some other connections? Does
anyone on the list know anything about him?
It would be a pity to let his death pass unnoticed.

Hi,

As coincidence would have it, I was just plugging in a footnote referencing=
C. Younger's book, 'Ireland's Civil War'. Although one of the earliest stu=
dies of the subject -c.1968 - it remains useful. Sorry to hear about his p=
assing. As I understand it, Younger was Australian. I recall reading (perha=
ps in the preface to his Civil War book?) that he became interested in the =
Irish Civil War as a result of conversations with a fellow WW II POW who wa=
s from Ireland. From research in Richard Mulcahy's Papers at UCD, I recall =
that while Mulcahy was hostile to Eoin Neeson when the latter approached hi=

book, 'The Irish Civil War 1922-23', Mulcahy was receptive to Younger and s=
eems to have offered lengthy comments and revisions for the paperback editi=

ULSTER-AMERICAN HERITAGE SYMPOSIUM

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 March
31, 2014 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 paragraph, to: sthomas[at]trrcobbhouse.org,
or by surface mail to: Program Committee, Twentieth Ulster-American Heritage
Symposium, c/o T.R.R. Cobb House, 175 Hill Street, Athens, GA 30601, U.S.A.

Address inquiries to the Co-Chairs of the Program Committee: Michael
Montgomery (ullans[at]yahoo.com) or Richard MacMaster (rmacmast[at]ufl.edu).

Registration fees will be waived for presenters, and overseas presenters
will receive complimentary accommodations.

COX, CATHERINE; MARLAND, HILARY; YORK, SARAH “Emaciated, Exhausted, and
Excited: The Bodies and Minds of the Irish in Late Nineteenth-Century
Lancashire Asylums.” Journal of Social History. Winter 2012, Vol. 46 Issue
2, pp. 500-524.


Abstract:
The article discusses the experiences of 19th-century Irish immigrants to
England while being held in the asylum of Lancashire, England,
particularly in the years during and after the Irish Famine. Focus is
given to the poor health of these Irish patients, as well as the ways in
which the patients' characterization as violent by asylum superintendents
was likely influenced by the anti-Irish sentiment that grew in England
during this period of increased immigration. The authors argue that
immigration was conflated with mental illness during this period, which
led to Irish incarceration.
