From the publisher's blurb, "The book focuses on the Irish miners who arrived during the gold rush and stayed on to build lasting communities. Fraser looks at their origins in Ireland, their migration journeys, and how they adapted to life in a rugged and remote part of New Zealand. He uses personal letters, oral histories, and official records to show how these settlers maintained family ties, religious beliefs, and cultural traditions. The West Coast towns they helped shape were lively and diverse, with hundreds of pubs and boarding houses springing up almost overnight. Fraser also examines the role of women, the importance of Catholicism, and the social networks that helped Irish immigrants survive and thrive. This is the first detailed study of the Irish diaspora in that region, and it connects local stories to broader patterns of migration and identity."

Yet relatively little has been written about their experiences in New Zealand, compared with their Irish, Scottish, Indian, Chinese and Pacific counterparts. This book brings together leading international scholars and prominent local researchers to explore a wide range of topics and issues at the very heart of research into human mobility.
