As Irish immigration dwindled by the late nineteenth century, Irish culture in the city became diasporic, reflecting an imagined homeland. Focusing on the power of memory to shape community, Matthew Barlow finds that, despite sociopolitical pressures and a declining population, the spirit of this ethnic quarter was nurtured by the men and women who grew up there. Today, as Griffintown attracts renewed interest from developers, this textured analysis reveals how public memory defines our urban centres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Nations and Nationalism in Griffintown, 1900–14\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Griffintown from the First World War to Irish Independence, 1914–22\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 The Last Stand of Irish-Catholic Griffintown, 1929–45\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 The Death of Griffintown, 1945–75\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 The Griffintown Commemorative Project, 1991–2010 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of British Columbia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404936061271,"sku":"9780774834346","price":23.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780774834346.jpg?v=1730488113","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/griffintown-9780774834346","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
