Description
Sightlines Beyond the Beyond in Ireland explores rural Irish life during a period of rapid change in the 1960s. With humor and charm, Eileen Kane transports readers to County Donegal, offering a detailed account of traditional Irish-speaking villages and their people.
The government's plan to support small factories in the Gaeltacht aimed to stem emigration and preserve the Irish language. But is this plan working? This book delves into the lives of those living beyond the margins of maps, boundaries, language groups, and government departments - people bound by borders that have little or no correspondence to their own cultural, economic, and historical margins.
Ultimately, Sightlines Beyond the Beyond in Ireland is a story about life on the edges, and the places and people who fall outside them. A nuanced exploration of rural Irish life during a time of significant change, this book offers a unique perspective on the complexities of identity, culture, and community.
