The Irish diaspora : tales of emigration, exile and imperialism
Bunbury, Turtle2021
Books
The Irish have always been a travelling people. In the centuries after the fall of Rome, Irish missionaries carried the word of Christianity throughout Europe, while soldiers and mariners from across the land ventured overseas in all directions. Since the first voyages of St Brendan, an estimated 10 million people have left the Irish shores and today more than 80 million people worldwide claim Irish descent. In 'The Irish Diaspora', Turtle Bunbury explores the lives of those men and women, great and otherwise, whose pioneering journeys beyond the Irish shore have left their indelible mark far beyond Ireland.
