Abstract

This essay begins by deconstructing the logo of the Centre for Migration studies as a way of outlining a differential perspective on Irish identity. Eschewing the traditional view of identity as sameness, this article posits an Irish identity which focuses on difference. The essay makes use of works by Joyce and Heaney.
