The Land That Makes Us Refugees

‘The Land That Makes Us Refugees: Northern Ireland through the eyes of its exiles, is a unique insight into Northern Ireland, with the region’s struggles illuminated for the first time through the stories of those who left. 

This compelling book uses first-hand accounts to explain why emigration was critically high during the Troubles and why it has remained so in the years since the Good Friday Agreement. The book also explores the human cost of emigration on those who leave and on those whom they leave behind.
