  • "The Irish Empire. Part 1. The scattering: Describes the diversity and length of emigration from Ireland and examines how the Irish have helped shape the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia. The Irish Empire. Part 2. Building the world: The first Irish transatlantic migrants arrived in Barbados over 350 years ago to help build the British plantation economy. From the U.S. to Australia, to Africa, Argentina, and the Far East, they've been "building the world," not just as the stereotypical navy, but as lawyers, politicians and missionaries. The Irish Empire. Part 3. A world apart: Over the centuries, and in sharp contrast to the record of other European countries, equal numbers of women left Ireland, very often alone."
  • "Describes the scope of the Irish migration and their impact on cultures around the world."@en
  • "Examines the lives of women who emigrated this century, and sets their experiences in a broader historical context, including the convict women deported to Australia and the women students in the United States who improved the economy of Ireland by sending their earnings home to their families. The Irish Empire. Part 4. Keeping the faith: Focuses on the history of Catholic and Protestant relations in the international expansion of Irish culture by examining conflicts as well as periods of peace and mutal benefit. The Irish Empire. Part 5. Dreams of home: Attempts to define Irishness by examining the difference between the Ireland of myth and the Ireland of reality."
  • "Explores the history of the Irish experience abroad as seen by Irish migrants themselves and as others perceive them. Covers the diversity and scale of Irish migration, the rise of Irish emigrants from slaves and convicts to plantation owners and influential politicians, Ireland's women emigrants, religious beliefs of Irish emigrants, and how the reality of Ireland today differs from the Ireland imagined by emigrants and their descendents."@en
