Example text
Despite her sense of cultural alienation, Joan acknowledges that she has gained from living in England, implying that Ireland could not have provided the same opportunities. The interplay between ‘here’ and ‘there’ for the migrant is articulated by Helen, who suggests that the term ‘emigrant’ can’t be applied to English emigrants because their relationship to the world through Empire offers a more global sense of belonging than is true of Irish emigrants. She suggests that although her sense of belonging in England may be illusionary, it is something that can never be resolved and that ‘we always have to think about’.
It should be noted that in Kallen’s time, most white ‘hyphenated’ Americans did not maintain consistent cultural relations with the homelands of their ancestors (the Jewish homeland had not yet been re-established). It would seem that diaspora communities can hold out much longer in the ‘salad bowl’ kinds of societies because they can maintain contact more easily with their homelands (assuming, of course, that the homeland is willing to permit this). At this time, it is unclear whether the ‘melting pot’ model has been effectively eclipsed by the ‘salad bowl’ model, to what extent such an eclipse can be attributed to diaspora communities (as opposed to mere immigrant communities), and whether a ‘homeland’ connection is even necessary for their survival.
Because all my family still live there [Ireland], the connection is very strong … because it’s quite easy to go home I feel that the link with Ireland is still quite strong … if I had emigrated to America, for example, I think it would be quite a different experience because you would feel much further away. (Jenny, London) In Jenny’s account, geographical proximity enables a relatively strong connection with Ireland, but for Sarah, her diasporic Irish identity in England is diminished when compared with that of the Irish in the United States.
