Description:... Scholars from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the US examine the dynamic nature of Ulster in the 17th and 18th centuries, the experience of migration, the development of economic strategies and community building in both Ulster and North America, and ethnic identity and cultural diffusion. The 11 essays were selected from biennial meetings of the Ulster-American Heritage Symposium since 1976. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
