This collection raises incisive questions about the links between
the postcolonial carceral system, which thrived in Ireland after
1922, and larger questions of gender, sexuality, identity, class,
race and religion. This kind of intersectional history is vital not
only in looking back but, in looking forward, to identify the ways
in which structural callousness still marks Irish society. Essays
include historical analysis of the ways in which women and children
were incarcerated in residential institutions, Ireland's Direct
Provision system, the policing of female bodily autonomy though
legislation on prostitution and abortion, in addition to the
legacies of the Magdalen laundries. This collection also considers
how artistic practice and commemoration have acted as vital
interventions in social attitudes and public knowledge, helping to
create knowledge and re-shape social attitudes towards this
history. -- .
