Items related to Irish Life and Traditions (Irish Studies)
From Library Journal:
Originally published in Ireland in 1979, this collection of 13 essays by as many authors is divided into four parts of which three, "The Physical Setting," "Growing Up in Ireland," and "The People and Their Traditions," consist of four essays each, while "Looking Forward" is devoted to one essay, "Ireland in the Modern World" by Sean MacBride, an elder statesman and president of Amnesty International. The essays in the first section are unex ceptionable; those in the second are atypical but interesting. Additional top ics in the third section and other view points in the fourth section would have increased the usefulness of the book. For public and undergraduate academic libraries. J.F. Moran, SUNY Coll. at Fredonia Lib.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 256 pages with frontispiece, photographs and index. Quarto (10" x 7 1/2") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The authors write about Irish Travellers as a special and distinct genetic and cultural people within the general population of Ireland. The Travellers featured in the book and the documentary are portrayed as a people whose traditional way of life has become lost to them for decades now because of legislation that essentially outlaws a nomadic existence in Ireland. Camping in horse-drawn barrel-top wagons has always been an integral part of Traveler culture but they are now not allowed to travel with their horses or to camp outside of designated public campgrounds, which has transformed many aspects of Travelers lives. Condition: Jacket edge wear else better than very good in like jacket. Seller Inventory # BOOKS008470
