A book of migrations: some passages in ireland, paperback/rebecca solnit

In this acclaimed exploration of the culture of others, Rebecca Solnit travels through Ireland, the land of her long-forgotten maternal ancestors.

A Book of Migrations portrays in microcosm a history made of great human tides of invasion, colonization, emigration, nomadism and tourism.

Enriched by cross-cultural comparisons with the history of the American West, A Book of Migrations carves a new route through Irelands history, literature and landscape.
