The Irish in Latin America and Iberia
A Bibliography

By Edmundo Murray

Latin America (general)

● Byrne, James P., Philip Coleman, Jason King (eds.). Ireland and the Americas: Culture, Politics, and History (Santa Barbara CA: ABC-CLIO, 2008). 3 volumes. Includes over sixty entries on the Irish in Latin America, from pre-Columbian period to the twenty-first century, and a longer introductory essay 'Ireland and Latin America' by Edmundo Murray.
Canning, Anthony M. South America in Corish, Patrick (ed.) 'A history of Irish Catholicism' (Dublin), 1971. Vol. 6, chapter 5.
● Coogan, Tim Pat. Wherever Green is Born: The Story of the Irish Diaspora (London: Hutchinson, 2000). Chapter nine of this book is dedicated to the Irish in Latin America. Although it is difficult to provide an accurate account in just forty pages, the interesting information contained in Coogan's text was obtained from a variety of secondary and selected primary sources, as well as through the vast contact network of the author. The chapter covers from the arrival of Irish monks to Mexico to the horrors of state terror and its Irish victims in the second half of the twentieth century, though emphasis is on Argentina, whose flavour Coogan found 'particularly attractive' (643).
