Overview

Following the fallout of the 2008 recession in the Republic of Ireland, its creative economy is framed as a window onto a range of other shifts in contemporary Irish society, including the recent rise of Irish nationalism. This book follows a group of young activists and artists who were facing increasingly precarious housing and labour market and were involved in a range of activist campaigns – particularly for reproductive rights and social and affordable housing, critiquing what they referred to as ‘neoliberalism’.

Reviews

“This book is excellent. It is clearly and evocatively written, incisively argued and empirically rich. This is truly an ethnographic tour de force!” • Matei Candea, University of Cambridge “This book is a fascinating ethnographic account of the ways in which political critique functions in everyday life, rather than only in the pages of academic texts. It makes an innovative and compelling set of arguments … and should constitute an important intervention in the literature on political anthropology.” • Paolo Heywood, Durham University
