Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this unique book, Irish women who stayed living on the island, who did not emigrate, describe their lives and perspectives on a dramatically changed social context from the 1990s to 2023. We hear the women's voices through O'Carroll's carefully crafted profiles based on interviews she conducted with each woman thirty years apart. Located in different places on the island, the women from various social backgrounds describe their lives and perspectives on the changes they have witnessed in their society - the rise and fall of the economy, major inward migration, unparalleled advances in legislation enabling divorce, abortion and marriage equality. O'Carroll provides an analysis of the wider social, economic and political shifts that contributed to dramatic social change including women's increased participation in the labour force, in education, in community-based organisations and in campaigns for change. Written for a general audience, the book seeks to help readers understand how women were agents of change whose lives were also shaped by social change.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Something happened during a thirty-five year period from 1980-2015 to unsettle what had previously been a predominantly one-way story of emigration from Ireland to America. The Irish who arrived in the US in the 1980s could return home in the late 1990s because the economy improved. Many did so, while others remained living stateside. The scale of return was unprecedented and it happened side by side with an explosion in information and communications' technology. Irrespective of where they chose to locate, over the following decades, these Irish migrants could maintain and sustain transnational connections in both places because of the availability of email, Skype, social media and cheap airfares.Other unusual aspects to this migration are unlikely to be repeated. Many lived and worked as 'illegals' in the US. In response, they established the Irish Immigration Reform Movement (IIRM) and built sufficient political capital to deliver special visas for the undocumented in the 1990s. Both steps seem unimaginable in a post 9/11 America.This book explores the stories of 20 Irish men and women who navigated a changed migration circuit to understand how they adapted to life 'here' and 'there' across the Atlantic. These stories highlight the value and complications of transatlantism and its impact on a sense of belonging and identity. Their reflections offer valuable insights to those Irish migrants navigating the current long distance circuits between Ireland, Canada and Australia and the current group of 'undocumented' Irish in the USA. This book explores the stories of 20 Irish men and women who navigated a changed migration circuit to understand how they adapted to life 'here' and 'there' across the Atlantic.
