Immigrants as outsiders in the two Irelands examines how a wide range of immigrant groups who settled in the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland since the 1990s are faring today. It asks to what extent might different immigrant communities be understood as outsiders in both jurisdictions. Chapters include analyses of the specific experiences of Polish, Filipino, Muslim, African, Roma, refugee and asylum seeker populations and of the experiences of children, as well as analyses of the impacts of education, health, employment, housing, immigration law, asylum policy, the media and the contemporary politics of borders and migration on successful integration. The book is aimed at general readers interested in understanding immigration and social change and at students in areas including sociology, social policy, human geography, politics, law and psychology.

One thought on “Newly published: Immigrants as Outsiders in the two Irelands”

  1. If you want a clear and uncomplicated understanding of Migration in Ireland’s 21st century where 17% of the Republic of Ireland’s population were born outside Ireland, then this is the best book for you. Dr Lucy with her experience of working with minority ethnic communities, including The Association of Mixed Race Irish (AMRI shows a rare understanding of the challenges faced by the ‘New Irish’ and she and her colleagues provide a gentle but penetrating analysis.
