    Boston Globe articles highlight changing migration patterns

    By admin | March 20, 2007

    The Boston Globe has run a two-part series of articles focusing on the experiences of the Irish in Boston. By Kevin Cullen, the series opens with a description of a new version of the “American Wake” – a goodbye held in Quincy pub for an undocumented couple as they prepare to head home for Ireland, giving up their Boston lives after seven years. The article describes how the Irish immigrant experience has changed dramatically as the community shrinks and enforcement increases.

    The second article in the series describes the experiences of those who have conm home, and how returning emigrants are coping with the changes that have taken place in the last few years.

    Read the series:
    “Wave of Irish immigration to Boston begins to slow“.
    “Going full circle: Native land’s new prosperity has many reversing their exodus”
