Since the mid-1990s Ireland has experienced an extraordinary phase of economic and social development. Seeking to understand the impact of these developments, Corcoran, Gray, and Peillon initiated the New Urban Living study, a detailed research project focused on four suburbs of Dublin. This title represents the culmination of that research.

This is the first field study of the kind of lives that the most recent Irish immigrants have in New York City today. Teachers, and students, readers interested in issues of identity and ethnicity, immigration trends and problems, and the history of the Irish in the United States will enjoy this easy-to-read, first-hand account.
