Review: An Unconsidered People - The Irish in Sixties London

By Catherine Dunne

An Unconsidered People is a unique book. For many people it will be a valuable insight into the still underexplored history of Irish emigration to Britain.

For most Irish World readers it will have a different value, the value of reading about one’s own experiences and one’s own heritage through the stories of others.

For this book is an oral history of the Irish in Britain, told in ten chapters by Irish emigrants themselves. Many readers will find that the memories within it resemble their own or those of their parents.
