""Her observations about the integrated Irish world press as well as how religious and political thought in Ireland informed the attitudes of diasporic communities confirm the importance of both comparative and transnational approaches in investigating the diasporic experience. [...] Throughout this excellently researched, eloquently written and methodologically innovative work, Cooper unearths elements of the Irish world experience that adds depth and texture to our understanding of the field. Her interpretation of Irish communities in Chicago and Melbourne is an important contribution because of its comparative focus and elucidation of the nuances and complexities involved in immigrant identity formation."" -Dr Regina Donlon, Carlow College St. Patrick's
