Description

The Irish in Britain: Insights from a Transformational Decade is a collection of thirteen articles by Michael Sheehan first published in The Irish Post newspaper in the 1980s.

The conflict in Ireland provided the backdrop to a turbulent decade for the Irish in Britain.

The articles reflect how the community reached out to local and national politicians to defend its interests; challenged anti-Irish racism and cases of injustice; and developed a new and positive cultural identity.
