Revista Canaria de Estudios Ingleses

[...]several articles address the connection between the two countries, and the varied cultural exchanges that are brought with it. [...]Margaret Brehony offers an uncommon vision of Ireland as she explores how the Irish migrant community that worked in Cuba on a railroad construction in the early decades of the nineteenth century made a significant contribution to the labour relations and the workers' protests against military rule in the Spanish colony at that time. The volume constitutes a plural perspective of a fascinating subject that is thoroughly assessed in most of the articles, which in turn, are extremely readable, solid and provide remarkable discussions. [...]collectively and individually, the critical pieces that are gathered in "Other Irelands" shed new light on the alternative imaginary that surfaced over the course of Irish history, and it is more than likely that, given their academic quality and critical grip, they will usher in further discussions on this engaging topic within the field of Irish studies, both nationally and internationally.
