Abstract

The article examines modes in which African immigrants in contemporary Dublin, Ireland are locating themselves, and being located within a society that views them as a challenge to prior notions of Irish identity. The author contends that spaces of minoritization are developing within the city as a means of containing individuals that challenge the myth of homogeneous Irishness. The article explores the presence of new spaces and identities in the current period of globalization and the way in which such developments in Ireland are developing in the context of what the author defines as a 'retro-global' society. Ethnographic data are employed to highlight the new social landscape of Dublin and present the lived-experiences of members of the African Diaspora communities.
