Overview
Ireland Now is an accessible guide to understanding how
Ireland and the Irish people have changed during the past fifteen
years. Largely as a result of the country's rapidly expanding
economy, Ireland has been transformed from one of the poorest to
one of the richest countries in the European Union. William
Flanagan uses personal, first-hand stories from a wide range of
Irish citizens, including the elderly, farmers, people in small
towns and rural areas, and new immigrants, to illustrate how
various segments of the population are coping with a shifting
social landscape.
Flanagan skillfully weaves his stories of real people together
to reflect themes of promise and loss attached to economic
upheaval, the struggle to maintain traditional ways in the face of
new social and moral orders, the effort to adapt to a country with
an enhanced place in the world economy, and the challenge of
remaining at home as the meaning of home becomes forever
changed.
Based on years of Flanagan's personal experience and careful
research in Ireland, this important book examines the nature of
Irish character and the fusion of tradition and change. It will
appeal to anyone with an interest in Ireland and Irish
identity.
