A richly detailed, scholarly and challenging history of the Irish diaspora.... challenges conventional wisdom - and captures the emigrant struggle for power and prosperity

Sunday Times

A brilliant and thorough account of a formative part of the Irish experience... [Connolly] brings to this, his first work of popular history, the same ability to describe his subjects in their own terms

Tablet

An absorbing, lucid and sometimes harrowing account

Daily Telegraph

Se alle

A masterwork of Irish diaspora history and immigration studies

Kirkus

Rich in detail and well researched, this is essential reading for understanding how the people of Ireland shaped the world

Belfast Telegraph

'An impressive [...] feat of scholarship and research

- Andrew Lynch, Business Post

One of the great migrations in history... Sean Connolly, an expert in the field, offers an accessible and impressively lucid overview

Literary Review

Impressive, provocative and perception-tilting... This is an exhaustive, yet never exhausting, historical account of the multi-faceted story of the Irish diaspora... For Irish history buffs, it's indispensable

Irish Independent

Stylish and lucid, this intrepid and provocative book traces in a manner at once bold and nuanced the movements of Irish migrants across space and time over the past two centuries. Sean Connolly is alert to the complex fate of victims, exploiters, soldiers of fortune or the merely footloose, who used the wide world to explore themselves. In his analysis, imaginative audacity is tempered only by sound scholarly scruple. A work of unprecedented synthesis which is magisterial and informed, yet whose challenge to conventional wisdom will generate animated debate for years to come.

- Declan Kiberd, University of Notre Dame,

<i>On Every Tide</i>, is the first comprehensive history of the Irish diaspora from pre-famine times to the present. This remarkable book, which is both readable and scholarly, ranging from North America and Britain to South America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, highlights the diversity of the Irish diaspora: Protestant and Catholic, unionist and nationalist, and their different experiences in the places where they settled.

- Mary E. Daly, professor at University College Dublin,

Connolly draws on an impressive array of primary evidence, including census records, personal testimonies, and popular fiction, without getting bogged down in statistics and minutiae... a seamless and well-rounded study

Publishers Weekly

Wide-ranging... based on Sean Connolly's long-standing research and takes us from the grim realities of the famine years through to the present day... bringing the story full circle

Family Tree Magazine

A provocative and at times audacious challenge to this [narrative], Connolly examines the complexity of Irish identity and reassesses the lived experience of Irish immigrants... He doesn't pull his punches

Irish Examiner

Connolly employs extensive research to weave an engaging account of emigration from Ireland... an authoritative but accessible and illuminating read

Who Do You Think You Are Magazine

An immensely impressive, authoritative history of the Irish diaspora'A richly detailed, scholarly and challenging history' Sunday Times'Impressive, provocative and perception-tilting... it's indispensable' Irish Independent'Essential reading for understanding how the people of Ireland shaped the world' Belfast TelegraphOn Every Tide explores both an Irish story and a chapter in world history. Irish emigrants fled a society blighted by poverty and lack of opportunity, seeking new lives in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. In doing so they became part of a massive population movement that has shaped the modern world. What distinguishes the Irish from tens of millions of other European immigrants is the position they established in their new homes. Initially treated as a despised and exploited underclass, they created a commanding position, in politics, in the labour movement, and, by the twentieth century, as cultural icons. Drawing on the latest ground-breaking research, and Sean Connolly's career-long engagement with the complexities of Irish identity, On Every Tide addresses wider, contemporary debates about migration, as well as offering a unique and distinctive view of two hundred years of Irish history.
