Description
The "Returned Yank" in the Cultural Imagination, 1952 to Present by Sinéad Moynihan explores how this figure has been perceived and represented in Irish culture over several decades. Drawing on historical, literary and cultural studies perspectives, the book examines the complexities of the Returned Yank's role in the Irish imagination. The study reveals that the Returned Yank is not a one-dimensional figure, but rather a multifaceted representation that has been discussed in various media outlets and depicted in different forms of art. This analysis highlights how the imagined figure of the Returned Yank has driven some of Ireland's most well-known tourist endeavours and festivals. By examining the appearances of the Returned Yank in Irish literature and culture after 1952, Moynihan challenges common assumptions about the aesthetic caution of Irish writers and filmmakers responding to the tradition/modernity debate.
