This volume explores how Irish children were 'constructed' by
various actors including the state, youth organisations, authors
and publishers in the period before and after Ireland gained
independence in 1922. It examines the broad variety of ways in
which the Irish child was constructed through social and cultural
activities like education, sport, youth organizations, and cultural
production such as literature, toys, and clothes, covering themes
ranging from gender, religion and social class, to the broader
politics of identity, citizenship, and nation-building. A variety
of ideals and ideologies, some of them conflicting, competed to
inform how children were constructed by the adults who looked on
them as embodying the future of the nation. Contributors ask
fundamental questions about how children were constructed as part
of the idealisation of the state before its formation, and the
consolidation of the state after its foundation.
