Sightlines : Beyond the Beyond in Ireland Paperback / softback
by Eileen Kane
Paperback / softback
Description
It is the 1960s, and Ireland is hoping to join what will later become the European Union.
The government has devised a plan to stem emigration and save the Irish language by supporting small factories in the Gaeltacht, traditional Irish-speaking villages in remote western areas.
But is the plan working? With her signature humor and charm, Eileen Kane transports the reader to County Donegal with a detailed account of rural Irish life during this period of rapid change.
This is a story about people 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, it is a story about life on the edges, and the places and people who fall outside them.
