Recalling the Celtic Tiger, Paperback / softback Book

Recalling the Celtic Tiger Paperback / softback

Edited by Eamon Maher, Eugene O'Brien, Brian Lucey

Part of the Reimagining Ireland series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book looks at various effects, symptoms and consequences of the period in Irish culture known as the Celtic Tiger.

It will trace the critical pathway from boom to bust – and up to the current beginnings of a similar, smaller boom – through events, personalities and products.

The short entries offer a sense of the lived experience of this seismic period in contemporary Irish society. While clearly not all aspects of the period could realistically be covered, the book does contain essential information about the central actors, events, themes, and economic trends, which are discussed in a readable and accessible manner.

Each entry is linked to the overall Celtic Tiger phenomenon and its immediate aftermath. The book also provides a comprehensive account of what happened in this period and will be a factual resource for anyone anxious to discover information on the areas most commonly connected to it.

All entries are written by experts in the area. The contributors include broadcasters, economists, cultural theorists, sociologists, literary critics, journalists, politicians and writers, each of whom brings particular insights to some aspect of the Celtic Tiger.
