    Lessons from the Irish Diaspora

    This episode, we dive into a really interesting conversation about Irish immigrants, how they eventually came to be recognized as part of the American story and what that journey says about humanity as a whole. Dr. Stephen Brighton, professor of anthropology at the University of Maryland, explains how Irish immigration to the US is similar to other diasporas throughout history, and what the concepts of prejudice, tolerance, assimilation and segregation say about humanity as a species. https://anth.umd.edu/facultyprofile/brighton/stephen Email: sbrighto@umd.edu Dr. Brighton's book:       https://www.amazon.com/Historical-Archaeology-Irish-Diaspora-Transnational/dp/1572336676/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=stephen+brighton+irish&qid=1629992348&s=books&sr=1-1 For articles on Irish and Native Americans helping each other:  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/173-years-170-why-irish-people-are-donating-help-native-n1200811 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/learning/lesson-of-the-day-irish-return-an-old-favor-helping-native-americans-battling-the-virus.html

They're all concepts that have been around for millennia, but we just can't seem to get it right.
