Books by Sinead Moynihan

Drawing on literary, historical and cultural studies perspectives, this book examines the phenomenon of the "Returned Yank" in the cultural imagination. Taking as its point of departure The Quiet Man (1952), it provides a cultural history that charts the ways in which the Returned Yank indexes a set of recurring anxieties in Ireland from 1952 to the present.

This is the first full-length study of contemporary American fiction of passing. Its takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990's in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction.
