The Resource Of Irish descent : origin stories, genealogy, & the politics of belonging, Catherine Nash

Of Irish descent : origin stories, genealogy, & the politics of belonging, Catherine Nash

Creator
Summary
"Of Irish Descent addresses questions by exploring the contemporary significance of ideas about ancestral roots, origins, and connections. Moving from the intimacy of family stories and reunions to disputed state policies on noble titles and new applications of genetic research, Nash traces the place of ancestry in interconnected geographies of identity - familial, ethnic, national, and diasporic. Underlying these different practices and narratives are potent and profoundly political questions about who counts as Irish and to whom Ireland belongs."--BOOK JACKET
