"""Gaelic's decline has been long in the making (its last ""revival"" dates to the late nineteenth century), and an appropriate sense of urgency runs through the book. But there is also celebration. Learning about the songs, myths, and legends of the Gaels is a joy to read. Sumner and Doyle have compiled a wonderful breadth of research and inquiry, showing not only the deep history of the Gaels' language but their spirit of life."" World Literature Today ""This impressive collection is the first major attempt to chronicle the experience of Gaelic-speaking peoples in North America, as well as their contribution to North American life and society. North American Gaels will be an invaluable book to Gaelic scholars, as well as historians and literary scholars interested in the North American experience of those European settlers for whom English and French were foreign languages.""
