This provocative new history of Ireland during the long 1960s
exposes the myths of Ireland's modernisation. Mary E. Daly
questions traditional interpretations which see these years as a
time of prosperity when Irish society - led by a handful of key
modernisers - abandoned many of its traditional values in its
search for economic growth. Setting developments in Ireland in a
wider European context, Daly shows instead that claims for the
economic transformation of Ireland are hugely questionable: Ireland
remained one of the poorest countries in western Europe until the
end of the twentieth century. Contentious debates in later years
over contraception, divorce, and national identity demonstrated
continuities with the past that long survived the 1960s. Spanning
the period from Ireland's economic rebirth in the 1950s to its
entry into the EEC in 1973, this is a comprehensive
reinterpretation of a critical period in Irish history with clear
parallels for Ireland today.
