"Campbell's authoritative new book breaks ground in our understanding of the global Irish journey and affords a fresh aperture into transnational experience. His vast and diverse array of stories over the wide history and geographical range of the Pacific Ocean gives us a pathbreaking work of synthetic and comparative history."—Ronan McDonald, University of Melbourne
"A comprehensive study of the ways that Irish-born and descended people have participated in the making of the Pacific world as we know it today, and the way the Pacific world has made them. . . . By introducing a new frame for scholars of the Irish diaspora, Campbell makes an excellent contribution to Irish historiography, and provides a strong foundation for future scholars."—History Australia
“A superb piece of transnational history. . . . Thoughtful, deeply researched, and elegantly written, Ireland’s Farthest Shores is not only a powerful and original study of an important and neglected topic, it will be recognized as a landmark work in Irish diaspora history and in transnational migration history more generally.”—Pacific Historical Review
