Drawing on a vast store of archival materials, \u003ci\u003eThe People with No Name\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eThe People with No Name\u003c\/i\u003e will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in transatlantic history, American Colonial history, and the history of Irish and British migration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691074623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691074627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 2013","brand":"Patrick Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981098287359,"sku":"9780691074627","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15bbb089-c345-408a-a4d3-74a402304169.jpg?v=1683253644","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-people-with-no-name-patrick-griffin-9780691074627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
