内容説明
This book is the product of Donald Akenson's forty years of research and writing on Irish social history and its relationship to the Irish diaspora - and it is also the product of about sixty-five years of trying to figure out where Swedish-America actually came from, and why. These two matters, he shows, are intimately related. Ireland and Sweden each provide a tight case study of a larger phenomenon, one that, for better or worse, shaped the modern world: the Great European Diaspora of the "true" nineteenth century. Akenson's book parts company with the great bulk of recent emigration research by employing sharp transnational comparisons and by situating the two case studies in the larger context of the Great European Migration and in the even bigger issue of what constitutes a diaspora, and how the concept of diaspora has become central to twenty-first century transnational studies. He argues (against the increasing refusal of mainline historians to use empirical data bases) that the history community still has a lot to learn from economic historians; and, simultaneously, that (despite the self-confidence of their proponents) narrow, economically based explanations of the Great European Migration leave out many of the most important aspects of the whole complex transaction. He believes that culture and economic matters both count, and that leaving either one on the margins of explanation yields no valid explanation at all.

This monumental study clearly will have a huge impact in the field. Typically of Akenson, an original thinker of the first order, it debunks many myths, half-truths, and lazy assumptions on the part of historians. However, this isn't simply a book which debunks. It isn't a tract or a treatise. Its central contribution is in offering one of the best (perhaps the very best) comparative history of European emigration. -- Professor Donald MacRaild D. H. Akenson is widely regarded as the most distinguished scholar of the history of the Irish diaspora, and justifiably so, given his enormous range of interests and his impressive list of books and scholarly articles. What characterises the Akenson approach is an engaging style of writing, a deep and seeming insatiable curiosity about the structures of the past-and how we should understand the complexities of this past on its own terms-and a lightness of touch when it comes to statistics. All these elements are evident in this excellent book...The true measure of the quality of a work of scholarship like this one is to get people to think, and this Akenson does this with admirable skill and cleverness. -- Dr Enda Delaney, University of Edinburgh
