Race in Irish Literature and Culture by Malcolm Sen

Race in Irish Literature and Culture by Malcolm Sen

Race in Irish Literature and Culture provides an in-depth understanding of intersections between Irish literature, culture, and questions of race, racialization, and racism. Covering a vast historical terrain from the sixteenth century to the present, it spotlights the work of canonical, understudied, and contemporary authors in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and among diasporic Irish communities. By focusing on questions related to Black Irish identities, Irish whiteness, Irish racial sciences, postcolonial solidarities, and decolonial strategies to address racialization, the volume moves beyond the familiar frameworks of British/Irish and Catholic/Protestant binarisms and demonstrates methods for Irish Studies scholars to engage with the question of race from a contemporary perspective.

Malcolm Sen is Associate Professor in the Department of English at University of Massachusetts Amherst.

He is the editor of A History of Irish Literature and the Environment (Cambridge University Press, 2022). Julie McCormick Weng is Assistant Professor of English at Texas State University. She coedited Science, Technology, and Irish Modernism (2019) and currently serves as Secretary of the American Conference for Irish Studies.
