Abstract

"Revised edition in English of "Devenir irlandés", published originally by Eudeba in 2004. This edition abridges some of the documents that make up the bulk of the volume: two memories and two sets of family letters from Irish immigrants in Argentina, without losing any substance. The documents are presented in this volume in their original language. Murray has also added a fuller discussion of the notion, conveyed in the title of the book, that social identities represent processes rather than fixed identities" (review by José Moya).
