Our Donegal Roots is the story of the authors' ancestry stretching back to four families with long bloodlines in the Rosses district in West Donegal. Their parents left that Gaeltacht enclave in 1929 to come to America where they settled and began a new Irish-American branch of the family. In addition to detailing their Donegal roots, the book contains stories of life in their parents' home villages of Annagry and Kincasslagh and as well the authors' own upbringing as first generation Irish- Americans on Staten Island. The book contains numerous historical photos, family trees and other archival material which document the lives of these four native families of Donegal.

This volume contains the proceedings of a recent Edinburgh conference at which scholars discussed the intersection of Scottish and Irish politics and culture in the later Middle Ages. It was a world epitomized by the neglected figure of the galloglass and several of the papers explore the role of these West Highland dynasties and their rapid proliferation throughout Ireland from the late thirteenth century onwards, but the volume also examines the high politics of Scottish royal involvement in Ireland, and the common culture of Gaeldom, particularly as manifested in the corpus of surviving bardic verse. Contributors include: Steve Boardman, David Caldwell, Alison Cathcart, Seán Duffy, David Edwards, Wilson McLeod, Kenneth Nicholls, Alasdair Ross, Katharine Simms, and Alex Woolf.
