Anotace knihy

James McGeoch''s headstone, which can be found at the §Symonds Street §cemetery in Auckland, New Zealand, carries a simple §sentiment in the §Scottish dialect that resonates with first §generation migrants §everywhere: "It was hard to die frae hame''.§This book is an investigation into the experiences §of death and §mourning among nineteenth-century Scottish migrants §to New Zealand. §It is simultaneously an investigation of deathways, §a migration study, a §consideration of the working class experience, and a §tentative venture §into the history of emotion. Using a diverse range §of sources, including §New Zealand coroners'' reports, gravestone §inscriptions, and personal §autobiographical accounts as written in journals, §diaries and letters, §this study highlights the complexity and variety of §migrants'' §experiences of death and attempts to uncover the §multiple meanings of §these experiences.
