Power and Popular Culture in Modern Ireland.  Editors Michael de Nie, Sean Farrell

Irish Academic Press Ltd (1 Mar 2010)

 Featuring some of the leading scholars of Irish history, Power and Popular Culture in Modern Ireland brings together some of the best new work in Irish history to honour James Donnelly s career and impact on Irish Studies. The volume has at its heart the issues that have permeated Donnelly s work, namely how ordinary Irish men and women experienced and responded to expressions of state and elite power and economic change. Throughout his career Donnelly has made critical interventions in a variety of fields in Irish historical scholarship. In each case Donnelly s contributions have played a central role in establishing the new historiographical consensus as well as serving as exemplars of meticulous and objective scholarship. This book accepts the challenge of taking this endeavour into the future, with timely and powerful contributions on such key fields of study as land reform, famine studies, migration, popular culture and religion
