'Addressing topics as diverse as the design of the plinth to the replica cross, and exploring the shift from sites of communal devotion to symbols of division and oppression, the editors of this book have brought together a series of essays that enable new and exciting perspectives on the role, function and significance of monuments in Irish and international contexts.' Niamh Nic Ghabhann, Senior Lecturer in History, University of Limerick 'This insightful collection of research reflects on the importance of rethinking monuments for contemporary society. Stitching the past into the present, the writers draw timely attention to the variety of cultural heritage in shared public spaces. Exploring the complexities of the fabric of Ireland’s monuments, this book offers a series of connections between Ireland’s past, current international heritage practices and the makers of future monuments.' Niamh Ann Kelly, Head of Art and Visual Culture, Technological University Dublin
