Product Description
Paperback, originally published under the Field Day imprint, 1991 ( the 75 anniversary of the 1916 Rising)
Anniversaries are often problematic, and few in recent times were initially as loaded with ambiguities and contradictions as the seventy-fifth anniversary of 1916. The intepretation of this key event in modern Irish history prompted fractures and disputes among historians, politicians and citizens-but, outside the realms of embattled historiography, open and general discussion was curiously muted, not to say inhibited.
