Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Reviews
"In challenging many of [Irish-American's] most cherished myths, he has done it a real service. His "warts and all" picture of the Irish-American diaspora enhances respect for the emigrants' courage, endurance, and singlemindedness. The reality is more impressive than the myth."--CanadianReview of Studies in Nationalism, "A veritable monument of research and analysis...[and] a historiographicaland expository achievement of high order."--Journal of American EthnicHistory, "A spirited and far-ranging synthesis...[Miller] has produced a major work of scholarship and analysis, rich in information, trenchant in argument and broad in its grasp. It is well worth reading."--The New York Times Book Review, "Emigrants and Exiles is an extraordinary and valuable work....Miller hasdrawn upon years of intensive scholarship to document the attitudes that Irishemigrants expressed on the subject of their departure from the land of theirbirth."--The Recorder: Journal of the American Irish Historical Society, "In Emigrants and Exiles, the Irish and Irish-Americans have found a work equal to their history--alive with fact, vivid in detail, exposing and assessing the virtues and vices of being Irish."--Terrence Fitzmorris, Tulane University"A well-written and extensively researched study....This ambitious work definitely promises to become a basic title for Irish studies."--Ethnic Forum"Without question Emigrants and Exiles will become a classic in emigration studies and because exile/emigration is so crucial to understanding Ireland it will be a significant text for any study of Irish history."--Journal of American Studies"This is a book that should be read by anyone with even a passing interest in eighteenth-century Ireland or America."--Eoin Magennis, Eighteenth-Century Ireland, "An extaordinary and valuable work."--The Recorder: Journal of the American Irish Historical Society, "The most comprehensive effort at a synthesis of the history of Irishemigration in the past half-century."--Journal of Social History, "A veritable monument of research and analysis...[and] a historiographical and expository achievement of high order."--Journal of American Ethnic History, "The most comprehensive effort at a synthesis of the history of Irish emigration in the past half-century."--Journal of Social History, "A remarkable achievement...a very readable book. Miller never forgets that history is about people...a valuable contribution to scholarship...a mine of fascinating information."--The Los Angeles Times Book Review, "In Emigrants and Exiles , the Irish and Irish-Americans have found a work equal to their history--alive with fact, vivid in detail, exposing and assessing the virtues and vices of being Irish."--Terrence Fitzmorris, Tulane University "A well-written and extensively researched study....This ambitious work definitely promises to become a basic title for Irish studies."-- Ethnic Forum "Without question Emigrants and Exiles will become a classic in emigration studies and because exile/emigration is so crucial to understanding Ireland it will be a significant text for any study of Irish history."-- Journal of American Studies "This is a book that should be read by anyone with even a passing interest in eighteenth-century Ireland or America."--Eoin Magennis, Eighteenth-Century Ireland, "An excellent and sensitive examination of the 'ordinary' Irish emigrant during what was surely an extraordinary experience."--Georgia Historical Quarterly, "A massive work that is at once exhaustively researched and textually dense, and yet persistently argumentative and immensely readable."--Stanley H.

Synopsis
Rich in human detail, penetrating in analysis, this book is social history on an epic scale. The first "transatlantic" history of the Irish, Emigrants and Exiles offers the fullest account yet of the diverse waves of Irish emigration to North America. Drawing on enormous original research, Miller focuses on the thought and behavior of the "ordinary" Irish emigrants, as revealed in their personal letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs as well as in their songs, poems and folklore. Miller shows that the exile mentality was deeply rooted in Irish history, culture and personality, and it profoundly affected both the traumatic course of modern Irish history and the Irish experience in America., Miller focuses on the thought and behavior of the "ordinary" Irish emigrants, as revealed in their personal letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs as well as in their songs, poems, and folklore. Depicting how Irish history, culture and personality lay at the root of the exile mentality, Miller discusses the profound effect this mentality had on both the traumatic course of modern Irish history and the Irish experience in America., From the 1660s to the early 1900s, no fewer than seven million people emigrated from Ireland to North America. This vast flow at once reflected and compelled enormous social changes on both sides of the Atlantic. In this book Miller chronicles the momentous causes of the Irish emigration and its far-reaching impact - on the people themselves, on the land they left behind, and on the new one they came to. Drawing on enormous original research, Miller focuses on the thought and behaviour of the "ordinary" Irish emigrants, Catholic and Protestant, as revealed in their personal letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs as well as in their songs, poems, and folklore. Monumental in scope, Emigrants and Exiles embraces all the successive waves of Irish emigration, illuminating their differences as well as their common bonds.
