Summary
Bronwen Walter draws on sociological concepts in its exploration of hidden nuances in relationships between Irish migrants and their descendants on the one hand and people of English background on the other. The chapter draws on qualitative data from ten discussion groups with second generation Irish ‘experts’ in four locations in England – London, Manchester, Coventry and Banbury. Four themes are identified which illustrate major areas of cultural difference: language, religiosity, the importance of family and sociability. The author argues that the widespread failure to recognize them has led to inequalities in many parts of society.
