- This work demonstrates sustained research effort over several years: it is a monograph of over 100,000 words. As a cultural history, it involved the collection and analysis of an enormous range of primary texts (literary texts, films, festivals, ephemera), including unpublished materials from U of Texas (Austin) and Emory University. Its key finding - that the imagined figure of the 'Returned Yank' indexes a set of recurring anxieties in Irish culture from about 1950 to the present - required a lengthy period of investigation and was explored in considerable depth in relation to the Troubles, gender, land/property and roots journeys.
