Abstract: Few historians, indeed, few authors of serious intent, have been as prolific as Donald Akenson, author of more than twenty books and scores of articles and editor of numerous collections of essays. Most of his books have focused on Ireland and the Irish, ranging from historical studies of Irish education, religious life, and local communities to biographies, but his work on the Irish diaspora has been particularly influential, inspiring new studies of the Irish in Canada and Australia and helping to shape how people in Ireland see their "cousins" overseas.
