What is Remembering Ahanagran : a history of stories about?
<br> Sara Walsh was born in 1919 in the west of Ireland, in a land of storytellers. In prose that is neither history nor memoir but something larger and brighter than both, <i>Remembering Ahanagran</i> captures her memories of her early years in Ireland, her migration to the United States, and her marriage to Harry White, the Harvard-educated son of Russian Jewish emigrants. Her son, eminent historian Richard White, in collaboration with Sara, forces history as it is traditionally written into conversation with personal recollections. <p><b>Richard White</b> is Margaret Byrne Professor of American History at Stanford University.</p> <p>"Richard White gives us a beautifully rendered account of his mother's life, tracing her journey as a young girl from Ireland toward the new identities she forged for herself in Boston and Chicago. Subtly weaving memory and history to suggest how the two reinforce but also challenge each other, <i>Remembering Ahanagran</i> is a powerful meditation on the immigrant experience in America. It is an absolutely wonderful book." - William Cronon</p> <p>"In this brilliant book, Richard White proves that he is not only one of the finest historians in America
