Biografisk notat
Nicholas J. Evans is Lecturer in Diaspora History at the University of Hull. Angela McCarthy is Professor of Scottish and Irish History at the University of Otago, New Zealand. She is the editor of A Global Clan (2006) and author of Personal Narratives of Irish and Scottish Migration, 1921-65 (2007) and Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840 (2011).The volume is likely to be/prove of interest to those from a variety of backgrounds – not only scholars of death studies but also those interested in national and diasporic identities and historians of the British Empire, while it is equally approachable for genealogists and family historians. The collection of studies raises wider issues of what it means to be British and Irish today and provides a stepping stone for similar work exploring expressions of identity by different ethnic groups moving within and migrating into Britain.
