The idea of an Aryan race became an important feature of imperial culture in the nineteenth century, feeding into debates in Britain, Ireland, India, and the Pacific. The global reach of the Aryan idea reflected the complex networks that enabled the global reach of British Imperialism. Tony Ballantyne charts the shifting meanings of Aryanism within these 'webs' of Empire.

To Tara via Holyhead provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives and experiences of Irish Catholic immigrants in nineteenth-century Christchurch. Lyndon Fraser has used a wide variety of government, local body, and church records to track individuals and families in detail. He shows how the immigrants adjusted imaginatively and creatively to a new environment by forging durable social networks based on ethnic ties. To Tara via Holyhead is also a significant contribution to the study of immigration to New Zealand as it explores issues of ethnicity, kinship and community that have been widely debated by historians. Fraser is familiar with these discussions and is able to make valuable comparisons with North American experience.
