Black '47 and Beyond
The Great Irish Famine in History, Economy, and Memory
The Great Irish Famine in History, Economy, and Memory
Moving away from the traditional narrative historical approach to the catastrophe, O Grada concentrates instead on fresh insights available through interdisciplinary and comparative methods. He highlights several economic and demographic features of the famine previously neglected in the literature, such as the part played by traders and markets, by medical science, and by migration.
