Beskrivning
How did the Irish stay Irish? Why are Irish and Catholic still so often synonymous in the English-speaking world? Ireland's Empire is the first book to examine the complex relationship between Irish migrants and Roman Catholicism in the nineteenth century on a truly global basis. Drawing on more than 100 archives on five continents, Colin Barr traces the spread of Irish Roman Catholicism across the English-speaking world and explains how the Catholic Church became the vehicle for Irish diasporic identity in the United States, Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and India between 1829 and 1914. The world these Irish Catholic bishops, priests, nuns, and laity created endured long into the twentieth century, and its legacy is still present today.

'Based on research undertaken in over 100 archives ranging from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Cape Town, South Africa and from Rome to Maynooth, and in many cities in between, this work will fundamentally transform our understanding of the role of the Irish Catholic Church in the British Empire. An outstanding addition to the history of religion in the English-speaking world in the nineteenth century.' Thomas Bartlett, University of Aberdeen
