A necessary corrective to the false unity of the term "Anglo-Celtic", this beautifully controlled and clear-sighted intervention is timely and welcome. It gives us not just a history of the Irish in Australia, but a skilful account of how identity is formed relationally, often through sectarian, class, ethnic and racial divisions. A masterful book. -- Professor Rónán McDonald, University of Melbourne
