I am more interested in the BBC and Irish/Irish Diaspora identities, of
course - but need all the help I can get, and Glyne Griffith offers a point
of comparison, and indeed a critique.
Indeed it might be suggested that one identity possibly available to Henry
Swanzy, given his origins, was some form of Irish or diasporic. 'Irishness'
as a version of pastoral is always available, of course. And, I guess, so
is Caribbean-ness.
