Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Irish in Argentina The material from which "The Story of the Irish in Argentina" has been composed was collected, for the most part, from the books, newspapers, magazines and periodicals named in the list given at the end of the book, and almost all of which publications can be consulted in the national and municipal libraries of Buenos Aires. The public libraries in Rosario have also been availed of to some extent. Information picked up in various ways through many years of intimate association with "old-timers," both Argentine and Irish born, has also been utilized pretty freely, while items of personal experience, and pamphlets and books loaned by friends supplied practically all the other matter incorporated. I must here express my very sincere gratitude to these friends and to the officials of the public libraries, to which I had recourse in the pursuit of my undertaking, for their courtesy and willingness to help me in my search. The labor of compiling this book was not undertaken with any other aim than that of doing a very agreeable service to our race, particularly that part of it whose lot has been cast in the Argentine Republic. I have tried to be moderate and truthful in all my criticisms and statements, and if I have in any way failed in this purpose it was not for lack of good will and honest intention.

Download or read book Irish Ingleses written by Helen Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length analysis of the Irish in Argentina. The experience of the Irish in Argentina was qualitatively different from that of Australia, Britain, or the United States, and this study employs a comparative methodology both in relation to the more established Irish immigrant destinations, as well as to European immigration as a whole. Against established destinations of nineteenth-century Irish settlement, Argentina was unique. Separated immediately from the native populace by language and culture, Irish immigrants were quickly identified by the governing Argentine hosts into the broader English-speaking community with ambivalent consequences for the Irish migrants. The distinct socio-economic advantages experienced by 'Ingleses' within a particularly Euro-centric Argentina facilitated and encouraged the diminution of ethnic distinctions. But the conflicting identities which emerged contributed to the distinct development of the Irish community within this unique nineteenth-century Latin environment.
Download or read book Linguistic Diasporas Narrative and Performance written by Sarah O'Brien and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the present-day Irish Diaspora in Argentina, using oral narrative and a sociolinguistic theoretical framework to draw out the features that define contemporary Hiberno-Argentine identity. The author analyzes the spoken memories and discourses of Irish-Argentine descendants to trace the socio-political evolution of a bilingual, bicultural community from World War II to the present day. In so doing, O’Brien reveals a legacy of emigration that is without precedent in the global Irish Diaspora, and which is deeply relevant to today’s global Irish citizenry in its challenging of preconceived notions of what it is to be Irish in the New World. As well as contributing to understandings of an immigrant linguistic journey over three generations, the book also provides a vital ethnographic portrait of an Irish descendant community that is acutely aware of its vulnerability and invisibility in an increasingly pluralistic South American society. This book will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience including scholars of migration, oral history, folklore, bilingualism, memory, sociolinguistics, narrative performance and Irish Diaspora studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In presenting this literature, Murray demonstrates both its specificity as Irish-Argentine, and its character as representative of immigrant literatures in general. In doing so, he reminds us of the crucial issues at stake both in the phenomenon of migration and in the cultural constructs to which migration gives rise. These include the reality and idea of "diaspora," the experience of exile, the shifting notion of "home," the ambivalences of nostalgia, and the ambiguities of "cultural identity." With respect to the latter, there is irony in the fact that in Argentina the Irish were called Ingleses, when one considers the extent to which British policies formulated in England contributed to the conditions that forced so many Irish into emigration. But as Murray shows, Irish-Argentine literature does not register the same sense of oppression that we find in Irish literature of the same period--it is moved by different sentiments, and reflects a rather more complex set of myths and loyalties. If on one hand, the Irish "home" is the object of a nostalgic idealisation, on the other hand, Argentine-Irish writers are forward-looking, and embrace their new land with the frank and open-hearted spirit of Joyce's fictional emigrant. If some Irish-Argentines hold nationalist Irish sympathies, others express the desire to participate in a more generally Anglophone culture in Argentina, so that "English" comes to mean, even for the Irish in Argentina, English-speaking rather than "of England." In tracing the shifting meanings of words, the changing senses of identity, and the relocations of literary form, Murray's work is written under the sign of migration. As an interrogation of writing as migratory in several senses, this book has relevance for a good deal more than the particular historical phenomenon and the works of literature which are its primary concern." -From the foreword by Dr.David Spurr. This monograph fills a large gap in the literary and cultural history of the Irish diaspora--The Argentine Republic in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since 2000 there has been a growing research interest in the Irish in Latin America and the Caribbean . This work is the only modern research by a skilled scholar on the topic of the literature of the Irish Argentine. The work has ground breaking material on specific authors, their economic and their demographic milieu as well as assessments on Irish allied cultural activities (journalism, politics and music).

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • SOON TO BE AN FX LIMITED SERIES STREAMING ON HULU • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • From the author of Empire of Pain—a stunning, intricate narrative about a notorious killing in Northern Ireland and its devastating repercussions. "Masked intruders dragged Jean McConville, a 38-year-old widow and mother of 10, from her Belfast home in 1972. In this meticulously reported book—as finely paced as a novel—Keefe uses McConville's murder as a prism to tell the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Interviewing people on both sides of the conflict, he transforms the tragic damage and waste of the era into a searing, utterly gripping saga." —New York Times Book Review "Reads like a novel ... Keefe is ... a master of narrative nonfiction. . .An incredible story."—Rolling Stone A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, NPR, and more! Jean McConville's abduction was one of the most notorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a climate of fear and paranoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on a beach. McConville's children knew it was their mother when they were told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress--with so many kids, she had always kept it handy for diapers or ripped clothes. Patrick Radden Keefe's mesmerizing book on the bitter conflict in Northern Ireland and its aftermath uses the McConville case as a starting point for the tale of a society wracked by a violent guerrilla war, a war whose consequences have never been reckoned with. The brutal violence seared not only people like the McConville children, but also I.R.A. members embittered by a peace that fell far short of the goal of a united Ireland, and left them wondering whether the killings they committed were not justified acts of war, but simple murders. From radical and impetuous I.R.A. terrorists such as Dolours Price, who, when she was barely out of her teens, was already planting bombs in London and targeting informers for execution, to the ferocious I.R.A. mastermind known as The Dark, to the spy games and dirty schemes of the British Army, to Gerry Adams, who negotiated the peace but betrayed his hardcore comrades by denying his I.R.A. past--Say Nothing conjures a world of passion, betrayal, vengeance, and anguish.

Download or read book Losers and Keepers in Argentina written by Nina Barragan and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rifke Schulman, a Russian Jew, came to Argentina in 1889 at the age of eighteen and helped set up the small agricultural colony called Moises Ville. Rifke's journal and the accompanying short stories introduce Bela Pelatnik, a victim of the white slave trade; Henoch Rosenvitch, the love of Rifke's life; Leah Uberman on her way to attend Moises Ville's centennial celebration; and many others. The book spans the last hundred years and examines the experience of Jewish immigrants in both North and South America, some of whom were nourished by their roots, others who severed their ties to an old way of life. In looking at the choices they all made, the ways they found love or shut themselves off from it, Nina Barragan offers a moving and multidimensional portrait of early twentieth-century Argentina and its contemporary descendants.

Download or read book The Hidden War in Argentina written by Panagiotis Dimitrakis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though officially neutral until March 1945, Buenos Aires played a key role during World War II as a base for the South American intelligence operations of the major powers. The Hidden War in Argentina reveals the stories of the spymasters, British, Americans and Germans who plotted against each other throughout the Second World War in Argentina. In Buenos Aires, Johannes Siegfried Becker – codename 'Sargo' – was the man responsible for organizing most of the Nazi intelligence gathering in Latin America and the leader of 'Operation Bolivar', which sought to bring South America into the war on the side of the Axis powers. After the attack on Pearl Harbor the US state department pressured every South American country to join it in declaring war on Germany, and J Edgar Hoover authorized huge investments in South American intelligence operations. Argentina continued to refuse to join the conflict, triggering a US embargo that squeezed the country's economy to breaking point. Buenos Aires continued to be a hub for espionage even as the war in Europe was ending – hundreds of high-ranking Nazi exiles sought refuge there. This book is based on newly declassified files and details of the operations of MI6, the Abwehr, the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) and the FBI, as well as the OSS and the SOE. Most significantly, The Hidden War in Argentina reveals for the first time the coups of Britain's MI6 in South America.
