Reading Irish-American Fiction (eBook, PDF)

The Hyphenated Self

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes five novels, all published between 1989 and 1999, in which the main characters are 'hyphenated people': Americans who are ancestrally joined to, yet realistically separated from, the Irish. Hallissy explores why these characters think of themselves as Irish, though they have know little of Ireland or its people.
