Until relatively recently, immigrant and ethnic minority groups were relegated to one of the silences in themoderWales. Where they were mentioned at all it was as outsiders who added a dash of color and exoticism to the story of majority but who had little to contribute to our understanding of developments in the "mainstreamsociety.

Catholicism, once the protean monster, still functions as a complex component of French identity. No consideration of modern France would be complete without reference to the enduring impact and influence of Catholicism on the life of the nation. This volume sets out to capture some of the variety and significance of the Catholic phenomenointwentieth-century secular France, and to express something of its extraordinary vitality and interest. Each contribution focuses on a specific theme or period crucial to an understanding of the role played by French Catholics and their CCollectively, these studies reveal that Catholics were involved in almost every event of consequence and voiced an opinion on almost every issue.

The poems in this fifth collection of his poetry were written before, during and after Matt Simpson’s two-month period as poet-in-residence at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston, Tasmania. Most of the poems are responses to encounters with the work and life of the mid-nineteenth-century writer and artist, Louisa Anne Meredith, who spent the first part of her life in Birmingham and who was already established as author and artist before, at the age of twenty-seven, she married her cousin, Charles, and emigrated to Australia. The Merediths were subsequently to spend most of the rest of their lives in Tasmania. Simpson follows Mrs. Meredith there, creating an imaginative relationship with her and in his poetry (in the words of John Lucas in his Foreword to this book) ‘exploring in different ways his sense of engagement with a person, a place, and, more remarkably, of hers and it with him. For among the most astonishing features of this intensely creative engagement is the way Mrs. Meredith herself emerges as a full and complex character, witty, resilient, keenly observant, even able to rebuke the poet for his “arrogance of hindsight”.’

Ceuta and Melilla are two "enclaves" on the northern coast of Africa that have been Spanish for centuries but that are claimed by the Kingdom of Morocco. As an integral part of Spain the towns have also been part of the territory of the European Union since 1986. Their unique situation has created considerable tension in the relationship (both political and economic) between Spain and Morocco. As well as looking at this relationship, the book explainshowtheanomalous situation of the enclaves impinges on issues such as immigration from North and sub-Saharan Africa into the EU, defense, trade and the Spanish political scene in general.

Piecing together a colorful and at times turbulent picture of Irish settlement in late nineteenth-century Cumbria, Culture, Conflict and Migration uses a broad range of primary materials, the analysis of which is firmly rooted in comparative reference to other writings on the Irish in Victorian Britain. From the 1850s developments in iron-mining, metal manufacture and shipbuilding brought a large increase of migrants who were overwhelmingly from Ulster, with many Protestants among them, and this social and religious make-up had enormous repercussions for the culture of Irishness in these new communities. In this study, Orangeism and nationalism, antipathy and communal violence are seen to have played a key role in defining these communities well into the late Victorian years eschewing the "ethnic fade" conception of so many other studies.
