Full description for New Guests of the Irish Nation
New Guests of the Irish Nation interrogates Irish responses to immigration within a broader analysis of the history of Irish nation-building. It draws on a decade of research by a leading expert on immigration and social change in the Republic of Ireland. Bryan Fanning's analysis of academic debates and public policy challenges prevalent academic thinking about racism and emphasises the dangers of ethnic nepotism in a context where many immigrants are unlikely to become Irish citizens. New Guests of the Irish Nation addresses the long-term challenges of coming to terms with mass immigration. These include limits to empathy and solidarity that need to be treated realistically in debates about integration and the specific mechanics of exclusion that pertain in different institutional settings.
