Product Details
This book examines how Irishness as national narrative is consistently understood from a distance. Irish Presidents, critics, and media initiatives focus on how Irishness is a global resource chiefly informed by the experiences of an Irish diaspora predominantly working in English, while also reminding Irish people at home that Irish is the 'national tongue'. In returning to some of Irelands major expat writers and international diplomats, this book examines the economic reasons for their migration, the opportunities they gained by working abroad (sometimes for the British Empire), and their experiences of writing and governing in non-native English speaking communities such as China and Hong Kong. It argues that their concerns about belonging, loneliness, the desire to buy a place back home, and losing a language are shared by todays generation of social network expatriates.
