Featured review
I found this series to be excellent. I thought it was going to be a history of Ireland, and it is of sorts, but it's about Irish immigration to the U.S., Canada, England, South Africa, Australia and other parts of the world. It dispels myths about immigration and looks at how immigration has affected the political, social and religious makeup of Ireland's immigrant descendants and their nations.
I would like to have seen more discussion about the Irish in the U.S., but that's my personal bias. Still, it was enlightening to see how immigration affected other countries, as well.
Some of the information is dated, however. It was made in 2000, and it was before the recession in 2007 damaged the Irish economy, so some of this is outdated. Most of it is not. It's really worth a view if you're interested in Irish history and Irish immigration history.
