Excellent- More about Death in the Diaspora: Gravestones and Memorial Markers Across the British World

British and Irish migrants left a significant physical legacy in the Caribbean, Asia, North America, and Australasia as they sought new lives in these regions. During the 17th to 20th centuries, gravestones and elaborate epitaphs became a means of documenting identity and attachment to both the old and new worlds. This book builds upon previous examinations of cultural imperialism to reveal how individuals, kinship groups, and occupational connections identified with place and space over time. Through analyses of gravestones and memorial markers in the UK and Ireland, Australasia, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, the contributors explore how this evidence can inform contemporary understandings of the attachments that British and Irish migrants had to their homes, both in life and death.
