Irish Adventures in nation-building consists of eighteen
mostly-chronological essays examining the debates and processes
that have shaped the modernisation of Ireland since the beginning
of the twentieth century. The vantage points examined include those
of prominent revolutionaries, cultural nationalists, clerics,
economists, sociologists, political scientists, public
intellectuals, journalists, influential civil servants, political
leaders and activists who weighed into debates about the condition
of Ireland and where it was going. Topics considered range from why
Patrick Pearse's ideas about education were ignored to why Ireland
has been recently so open to large-scale immigration, from the
intellectual conflicts of the 1930s to the future of Irish
identity. This is a genuinely multi-disciplinary book that offers
an accessible overview of how Ireland and what it means to be Irish
has changed during the last century. -- .
