{"product_id":"visions-of-ireland","title":"Visions of Ireland","description":"The \u003ci\u003eAmharc Éireann \u003c\/i\u003efilm series (literally translated as \u003ci\u003eViews\/Visions of Ireland\u003c\/i\u003e) was a cultural nationalist project sponsored by Gael Linn, an organization whose mandate was the revitalization of the Irish language through the use of modern media and technology. It was produced by Colm Ó Laoghaire, a member of a well-known Irish literary and nationalist family, the Plunketts. As the first and longest-running Irish-language documentary and news-film series, \u003ci\u003eAmharc Éireann \u003c\/i\u003erepresented an attempt on the part of a few committed Irish-language enthusiasts to present Ireland to the Irish in a way that would instil a sense of pride in the country, and to promote the language in a way that the public would accept. Created during a period of rapid social, economic and political change, it reflects and records the dramatic transformation of Ireland from a rural, underdeveloped and relatively isolated nation into a modern member of the international economic and political community.\u003cbr\u003e This book, the first full-length investigation of the \u003ci\u003eAmharc Éireann \u003c\/i\u003eseries as a historical artefact, makes an original and important contribution to our understanding of the complexities of twentieth-century Irish history.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224189423960,"sku":"9783034318723","price":58.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783034318723.jpg?v=1764729945","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/visions-of-ireland","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
