Focusing on five key Irish and Irish-Argentine writers (William Bulfin, Kathleen Nevin, Rodolfo Walsh, María Elena Walsh, and Juan José Delaney), the book challenges dominant constructions of Argentine national literature and foregrounds the constitutive role of diaspora in shaping literary and cultural identities. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eDrawing on theories of nation-building, migration, identity, and collective memory, the study advances a transnational reading of Argentine literature that moves beyond methodological nationalism. It shows how Irish diasporic writing both participates in and unsettles canonical narratives of national identity, revealing literature as a site of negotiation between belonging, displacement, and cultural translation. By situating these writers within broader transatlantic literary and historical networks, this book contributes to current debates on migration, hybridity, and the circulation of cultural forms across borders. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eAt a time when questions of migration and global identity are central to political and cultural discourse, \u003cem\u003eIrish Narratives in Argentina\u003c\/em\u003e offers a timely insight into how diasporic narratives contribute to the imagining of societies. It argues for a more inclusive approach to literary studies, recognising diaspora not as marginal but as integral to national and transnational cultures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-05-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032190550\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-19056-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 175\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45991511589004,"sku":"9783032190550","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032190550.jpg?v=1779942092","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032190550","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
