| Research Abstract |
From the standpoints of the social history of diseases as well as Atlantic history, this project has investigated migrants and their experiences of epidemic diseases in the modern Atlantic world. It specifically illuminates how the Irish diaspora in the nineteenth-century United States established their self-portrait as exiles on the basis of their memory of hunger and disease in their homeland. This is a case study of the relationships between migrations and epidemics in the Atlantic world in which three races encountered with each other.
