Drawing on a vast store of archival materials  The People with No Name is the first book to tell this fascinating story in its full  transatlantic context. It explores how these people--whom one visitor to their Pennsylvania enclaves referred to as a spurious race of mortals known by the appellation Scotch-Irish--drew upon both Old and New World experiences to adapt to staggering religious  economic  and cultural change. In remarkably crisp  lucid prose  Patrick Griffin uncovers the ways in which migrants from Ulster--and thousands like them--forged new identities and how they conceived the wider transatlantic community.  The book moves from a vivid depiction of Ulster and its Presbyterian community in and after the Glorious Revolution to a brilliant account of religion and identity in early modern Ireland. Griffin then deftly weaves together religion and economics in the origins of the transatlantic migration  and examines how this traumatic and enlivening experience shaped patterns of settlement and adaptation in colonial America. In the American side of his story  he breaks new critical ground for our understanding of colonial identity formation and of the place of the frontier in a larger empire. The People with No Name will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in transatlantic history  American Colonial history  and the history of Irish and British migration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985182355509,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691074623","price":41.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691074627.jpg?v=1770850783","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-people-with-no-name-irelands-ulster-scots-americas-scots-irish-and-the-creation-of-a-british-atlantic-world-16891764","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
