First published in 1975, Donald Akenson's book was at the forefront
of a radically new approach to the study of Irish educational
history. Instead of investigating the evolution of the schools as
an isolated process, he explores the complex interrelations of
Irish education, institutions and society, treating the schools as
cultural litmus paper. By presenting Ireland's schools as a
reflection of the society that produced them, Professor Akenson
demonstrates that they are, in truth, "a mirror to the face of
Kathleen ni Houlihan".
