The Americans that have moved to Ireland are a new kind of identity, a new kind of culture. An identity that isn’t quite Irish-American as many will not have Irish descent. This new identity surpasses being only American because now they’ve adapted to a new country. It is the American-Irish that have developed and taken on everything that Ireland has thrown at them as they came rushing in with rose-coloured glasses and made it into something their own. The American-Irish are fiercely independent. They come from a history of pioneers who have dreamt big and travelled far for a better future. And this book is a collection of their journeys, missions, dreams, and realities of moving to Ireland.
This book compromises of interviews, written stories and surveys on the American-Irish. You’ll find that their choice of words, spellings, phrases, and opinions sway somewhere between Irish and American. This is the voice of the American-Irish.
