Description
Race in Irish Literature and Culture is a comprehensive scholarly examination of how racial concepts, identities, and hierarchies have shaped Irish literary expression and cultural production. Edited by Malcolm Sen and Julie McCormick Weng, this volume brings together essays that interrogate the often-overlooked dimensions of race in Irish contexts, moving beyond traditional postcolonial frameworks to consider how Irish writers have addressed questions of ethnicity, belonging, and racialization.
The collection spans multiple literary periods and genres, investigating how Irish literature has both reflected and contested racial ideologies. It explores the experiences of racialized communities in Ireland, diasporic Irish identities, and the global dimensions of Irish cultural influence. By centering race as a critical category of analysis, this book contributes to ongoing conversations about Irish identity, colonialism, and cultural representation in the twenty-first century.
