Brian Moore’s The Luck of Ginger Coffey: An Experience of Immigration from Ireland to Canada in the Fifties
|
| Abstract |
The author analyzes Brian Moore's semi-autobiographical 1960 novel, The Luck of Ginger Coffey, about an Irish immigrant newly-arrived in Montreal, to investigate some aspects of the main characters' experience of immigration in the 1950s. The author points out that the immigrant settling in a foreign country can face prejudice and marginalization. She analyzes how the book's main character, Ginger Coffey, is perceived as "Other" by people from different ethnicities. She also discusses Coffey's adjustment, along with his wife's and daughter's, to the Montreal of the fifties and the influence of the post-war social environment on immigrants' gender roles.
