Product Description
The study of an independent Irish working-class has often been neglected at large by a focus on nationalism in politics, culture and wider society. As highlighted throughout this pioneering book, this neglect has stretched at times to an actual denial of the existence of an Irish working class. That class, rather than ethnicity, religion, or the idea of national identity could have a role to play in politics and cultural production is an alien one to mainstream Irish historical debate. The working class has been locked out of Irish history. This ground-breaking book, written to commemorate the centenary of the 1913 Dublin Lockout and to advance Irish labour history in new and innovative ways, offers fresh perspectives from a new generation of Irish historians. Looking at the NSPCC and the industrial school system, the Dublin Lockout of 1913 itself, discussions of class, status and gender among Cork textile workers and the infamous 'Animal Gang' of 1930s tenement Dublin, to name but a few; this book truly digs deep to reveal the richness and diversity of the lives and culture of working-class people over the past century.
