Abstract
The conclusion synthesizes the themes that emerged across the collection of stories and speaks to the dominant traits that were evidenced during the telling of each story. It then looks to future possibilities for the Irish-Argentine community and discusses the carrying on of Irishness into the next generation, the increased reliance on Irish identity in the face of radical political shifts and the possibilities for increased awareness of Irish-Argentine literature and history going into the future.
