There has been an Irish presence within the Caribbean since at least the 1620s and yet the historical and cultural dimensions of this encounter remain relatively under-researched and are often conceived of in reductive terms by crude markers such as red legs or poor whites. This collection explores how the complications and contradictions of Irish-Caribbean relations are much richer and deeper than previously recognized.

For those who love epic stories, this gripping page-turner unveils the brutality of imperialism in Ireland and the Caribbean Island of Jamaica. A historical saga you will devour, pause to regroup, and never forget. West Cork, Ireland, 1846: Desperate and half-starved, an Irishman boards a hurricane-battered ship to the Caribbean. But life away from Ireland is also bleak. The ship is attacked by pirates, his best friend is killed, and he arrives on a stunning, distressful, slave-scourged island. Jamaica, West Indies, 1846 - 1849: Sean O'Sullivan barely endures his work as overseer for the cruelest British planter in Jamaica. Britain is forced to abolish slavery, but angry planters continue to brutalize and subjugate blacks. Rebellions erupt and activists are lynched. O'Sullivan quietly resists planter abuse and creates thriving farming communities owned by his ex-slaves. How will he survive, as uprisings continue to flare and a well-respected human rights activist returns home to Jamaica; his name is Marcus Garvey. Editorial Reviews "...fascinating characters and events. ...a dramatic and heart-wrenching story of suffering, hope, and redemption. And freedom! Moving and inspiring. The worst and the best of us... I enjoyed this book very much and encourage all to buy it and be blessed."-J. André Weisbrod, Financial Adviser, Speaker, and Award-Winning Author of Don't Ever Take Away My Freedom by Thomas Patrick Locke "Kudos to author Norma Jennings for writing this entertaining, essential, meaningful and historical account. This was like having spinach in your cake (if you hated spinach); you are not aware you are getting the well needed literary and historical nutrients, because it's sooooooo goooooood!!!!"-Jeffrey Anderson-Gunter, Producer/Director/Actor/Founder and Artistic Director of The Caribbean American Repertory Theatre "... a fantastic page-turner of fiction embellished with facts. It was such a heartbreaking tale that I needed time to regroup after reading. Set in the mid to late 1800s, this book will appeal to historians and everyone who loves epic stories. This novel explored resilience, betrayal, selflessness, suffering, grit, survival, hope, and courage...Please, write more, Norma."-Jennifer Ibiam for Readers' Favorite

Imagining Motherhood in Contemporary Irish and Caribbean Literature undertakes a comparative transnational reading to develop more expansive literary models of good mothering. Abigail L. Palko argues that Irish and Caribbean literary representations of non-normative mothering practices do not reflect transgressive or dangerous mothering but are rather cultural negotiations of the definition of a good mother. This original book demonstrates the sustained commitment to countering the dominant ideologies of maternal self-sacrifice foundational to both Irish and Caribbean nationalist rhetoric, offering instead the possibility of integrating maternal agency into an effective model of female citizenship.

This edited collection explores the complexities of Irish involvement in empire. Despite complaining regularly of treatment as a colony by England, Ireland nevertheless played a significant part in Britain’s imperialism, from its formative period in the late eighteenth century through to the decolonizing years of the early twentieth century. Framed by two key events of world history, the American Revolution and Indian Independence, this book examines Irish involvement in empire in several interlinked sections: through issues of migration and inhabitation; through literary and historical representations of empire; through Irish support for imperialism and involvement with resistance movements abroad; and through Irish participation in the extensive and intricate networks of empire. Informed by recent historiographical and theoretical perspectives, and including several detailed archival investigations, this volume offers an interdisciplinary and evolving view of a burgeoning field of research and will be of interest to scholars of Irish studies, imperial and postcolonial studies, history and literature.

This project examines the shared cultural heritage of African and Irish people commencing with the era of slavery and indentured servitude, when these two cultures worked alongside each other in the plantations. The triumph of the human spirit ensured that music forms emerged from these harsh experiences; traditions were retained and modified to produce music that spoke of pain, exile and reconstitution - a universal language that moves people of all cultures. This book examines a number of studies on these topics and features interviews with notable academics. Topics covered include how the Irish came to be in the Caribbean and why Montserrat is known as the "Other Emerald Isle"; how the Jamaican Maroons retained African traditions; and how the banjo became an integral part of folk music in the Caribbean, Ireland and the remote Appalachian Mountains.

The Caribbean Irish explores the little known fact that the Irish were amongst the earliest settlers in the Caribbean. They became colonisers, planters and merchants living in the British West Indies between 1620 and 1800 but the majority of them arrived as indentured servants. This book explores their lives and poses the question, were they really slaves? As African slaves started arriving en masse and taking over servants’ tasks, the role of the Irish gradually diminished. But the legacy of the Caribbean Irish still lives on.

Not to be missed by readers of Veronica Henry and Freya North. In touching, poignant and delicious tales of life by the ocean, the holiday doesn't quite turn out as planned for the resort's guests. There's Tara, who's arrived with the man she wants to marry only to find that a rejected lover is planning to get in the way; and Grainne, who's been sent with her husband by their children to celebrate their anniversary, and who thinks the time has come to move on. Rudy's on an idyllic break with his young son which is set for an unexpected ending; and Isobel - of Sheila's much-loved bestseller ISOBEL'S WEDDING - discovers her ex-lover Nico might be staying just next door. Romance is very much alive in the hot Caribbean nights... What readers are saying about Connections: 'A brilliant, quick and easy read.

Literary depictions of drowning or burial at sea provide fascinating glimpses into the often-conflicted human relationship with memory. For many cultures and religious traditions, properly remembering the dead involves burial, a funeral, and some kind of grave marker. Traditional rituals of memorialization are disturbed by the drowned body, which may remain lost at sea or be washed up unrecognized on a distant shore. The first book of its kind, Literary Drowning explores depictions of the drowned body in twentieth-century Irish and Caribbean postcolonial literature, uncovering a complex transatlantic conversation that reconsiders memory, forgetfulness, and the role that each plays in the making of the postcolonial subject and nation. Faced with fissures in cultural memory, postcolonial writers often identify their situation—and their nation’s—with that of the drowned body. Floating aimlessly without a grave, unmemorialized and perhaps unremembered, the drowned corpse embodies the troubled memory of the postcolonial nation or individual. Boeninger follows a trail of drowned bodies and literary influence from the turn-of-the-century Irish playwright J. M. Synge, through the poems and plays of St. Lucian Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, to the lesser-known work of Guyanese British novelist and poet David Dabydeen, and finally to the contemporary Irish plays of Marina Carr. Each author, while borrowing from those who came before, changes the image of the drowned body to reflect different facets of the project of remembering postcolonially.
