Irish Speakers and Schooling in the Gaeltacht, 1900 to the Present
Author: Tom O'DonoghuePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030260216
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book offers the first full-length study of the education of children living within the Gaeltacht, the Irish-speaking communities in Ireland, from 1900 to the present day. While Irish was once the most common language spoken in Ireland, by 1900 the areas in which native speakers of Irish were located contracted to such an extent that they became clearly identifiable from the majority English-speaking parts. In the mid-1920s, the new Irish Free State outlined the broad parameters of the boundaries of these areas under the title of ‘the Gaeltacht’. This book is concerned with the schooling of children there. The Irish Free State, from its establishment in 1922, eulogized the people of the Gaeltacht, maintaining they were pious, heroic and holders of the characteristics of an invented ancient Irish race. Simultaneously, successive governments did very little to try to regenerate the Gaeltacht or to ensure Gaeltacht children would enjoy equality of education opportunity. Furthermore, children in the Gaeltacht had to follow the same primary school curriculum as was prescribed for the majority English speaking population. The central theme elaborated on throughout the book is that this schooling was one of a number of forces that served to maintain the people of the Gaeltacht in a marginalized position in Irish society.

A Fragile City
Author: Micheal O'SiadhailPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
After the jazz-like vitality of Hail! Madam Jazz, Michael O'Siadhail explores the delicate networks and the powerful energies of modern life. It is a fragile city of trust and its betrayals. Certainties weaken, boundaries blur, selves and societies are shaken. Yet O'Siadhail's poems resonate with hints of new connections, glimpses of transformation. The poetry is cosmopolitan and passionate. Focusing where public and private life come together, it evokes a world at once complex and vulnerable, but made habitable by trust, hospitality and even celebration. For all the disruption, compassion and wisdom take fresh forms, and the intensity of living 'on the edge' culminates in daring to feast and dance.
