Available for the first time in an updated, compact paperback
format, this book offers a stunning photographic survey of Ireland
over the last seven decades, from the 1950s to the present day.
Organized decade by decade, the images show the lingering influence
of rural life in the 1950s; the hidden story of ordinary Irish men
and women, living in a divided society during the troubled years of
the sectarian conflict; the South's huge economic growth at the end
of 1990s, baptised the 'Celtic Tiger', and Ireland's perpetual
quest for identity, from the 1950s to the present day. Each decade
is commented on by a notable contemporary Irish literary figure:
Anthony Cronin, Nuala O'Faolain, Eamonn McCann, Fintan O'Toole,
Colm Toibin and Anne Enright invite the reader to dive into the
social and political context of each period, providing a textual
backdrop to the photographers' work.
