^● Davis, Graham, Land! Irish Pioneers in Mexican and Revolutionary Texas (Texas A&M University Press, 2002). The Irish settlers in San Patricio and Refugio colonies are studied here with a new perspective. Instead of packing their intentions with the ideological or religious reasons typical of oppression and contribution discourses, Professor Davis of Bath University analyses land hunger in pre-Famine Ireland in relation with the 'cheap and abundant land' in Southeast Texas before and during the US-Mexican War. The role of Irish empresarios – who obtained land contracts from the Mexican government – is thoroughly analysed by the author. Of particular interest to students of the Irish in Latin America is the cultural transference from Mexican agricultural and cattle practises to the new settlers.

'In 1844, Eugene Macnamara, an Irish priest with a shadowy history, began promoting his plan to create an Irish colony in California. With the first of the Potato Famines a year later, many Irish farmers had to seek a new life, and California seemed to be the answer. In both Washington and Mexico, Macnamara and his plan were viewed as suspicious, even dangerous, yet once the U.S. war with Mexico gained California for the United States, the priest and his plan were largely forgotten.'
