Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback crease on front coverFor generations, Ireland has been deeply marked by emigration. By spending time in one small town in central Ireland - Roscrea, County Tipperary - New Yorker Joan Mathieu hoped to discover why people still leave and to examine the effect of…their departure on those who remain behind. One emigrant was Mathieu's grandmother, who left Roscrea for New york City in 1912 at the height of the Irish emigration and Zulu is thus both a personal exploration and a more general portrait of a community defined by absences. Mathieu also talks to modern Irish immigrants in New York and discovers that the whole process of emigration has changed as many people no longer leave Ireland for good. With lyrical intensity, humour and a wonderfully exact attention to the Irish landscape and speech, Mathieu has created a fascinating portrait of the Irish people and the nature of emigration.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
