He convincingly employs insights from studies on nationalism, cross-border identities, and transnational collective action. Lune’s superb account suggests that organizational and transnational perspectives are essential for understanding and critically dealing with central questions of nationalism not only for the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries but also for the globalized world of the twenty-first century. This book is bound to become an essential guide for a new generation of social scientists debating how transnational action and transnationally organized collective identity formation shape cross-border nationalism.\u003c\/i\u003e” \u003cbr\u003e -\u003cb\u003eThomas Faist\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor of Sociology, Bielefeld University, and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Transnationalized Social Question: Migration and the Politics of Social Inequalities in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e“ \u003ci\u003eI\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003en\u003c\/i\u003e Transnational Nationalism and Collective Identity \u003ci\u003eamong the American Irish, Howard Lune reveals the interrelationships among individuals and organizations committed to achieving independence for the Irish nation. The aspiration for an independent Irish nation dates from the Enlightenment and later spread throughout the diaspora, creating a transnational movement that still influences Ireland. This is a major contribution to our understanding of social movements, transnational nationalism, organizational fields, collective identity, and the complex relationships between Irish and Irish-American nationalists.\u003c\/i\u003e” \u003cbr\u003e -\u003cb\u003eRobert W.

As exiled Irishmen moved to the United States, they sought to create a new Irish republic following the American model. Lune traces the construction of Irish American identity through the establishment and development of Irish nationalist organizations in the United States. He looks at how networks-such as societies, clubs, and private organizations-can influence and foster diaspora, nationalism, and nationalist movements. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy separating nationalism from the physical nation, \u003ci\u003eTransnational Nationalism and Collective Identity among the American Irish\u003c\/i\u003e uniquely captures the processes and mechanisms by which collective identities are constructed, negotiated, and disseminated.
