This book offers an empirically informed understanding of how
cultural, autobiographical and absent memories of orphanhood
interact and interconnect or come into being in the re-telling of a
life story and construction of an identity. The volume investigates
how care experienced identities are embedded within personal,
social and cultural practices of remembering. The book stems from
research carried out into the life (hi)stories of twelve
undervalued 'historical witnesses' (Roberts, 2002) of orphanhood:
women who grew up in Nazareth House children's home in Belfast,
Northern Ireland, during the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Several themes are
covered, including histories of care in Northern Ireland,
narratives and memories, sociologies of home, and self and
identity. The result is an impressive text that works to introduce
readers to the complexity of memory for care experienced people and
what this means for their life story and identity.
