It considers the silences in Ireland’s history-telling, including those of the recent conflict in Northern Ireland and of the traumatic public discoveries and re-evaluations of the island’s institutions of social control. The book’s key message is that history is active, making itself felt in ongoing debates about heritage, identity, nationhood, post-conflict society and reparative justice. It shows that Irish public history is freighted and often fraught with jeopardy, but as such it is rich with insight that has relevance far beyond this island’s shores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is useful for students, scholars and practitioners working in the fields of public history and the history of Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56191970378072,"sku":"9781032110608","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032110608.jpg?v=1778760023","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/public-history-in-ireland-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
