Routledge International Handbook of Irish Studies begins with the reversal in Irish fortunes after the 2008 global economic crash. The chapters included address not only changes in post-Celtic Tiger Ireland but also changes in disciplinary approaches to Irish Studies that the last decade of political, economic, and cultural unrest have stimulated.

Since 2008, Irish Studies has been directly and indirectly influenced by the crash and its reverberations through the economy, political landscape, and social framework of Ireland and beyond. Approaching Irish pasts, presents, and futures through interdisciplinary and theoretically capacious lenses, the chapters in this volume reflect the myriad ways Irish Studies has responded to the economic precarity in the Republic, renewed instability in the North, the complex European politics of Brexit, global climate and pandemic crises, and the intense social change in Ireland catalyzed by all of these.

Just as Irish society has had to dramatically reconceive its economic and global identity after the crash, Irish Studies has had to shift its theoretical modes and its objects of analysis in order to keep pace with these changes and upheavals. This book captures the dynamic ways the discipline has evolved since 2008, exploring how the age of austerity and renewal has transformed both Ireland and scholarly approaches to understanding Ireland. It will appeal to students and scholars of Irish studies, sociology, cultural studies, history, literature, economics, and political science.

Chapter 3, 5 and 15 of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.routledge.com. It has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

An intellectual history of the Irish Language Revival. Exploring fin de siècle themes including Darwinism, degeneration, racial hybridity, race extermination, cultural decline and cultural nationalism as manifested in the latter half of the nineteenth-century, this ground-breaking study charts how these concerns created a cultural and intellectual environment receptive to the Irish revival of the late-nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Twisted Truths is an exciting anthology which brings together some of the finest and most innovative writing in the Irish language published in the past three decades. It features a foreword written by the award-winning Irish author, Colm Tóibín, and writings by: Micheál Ó Conghaile, Angela Bourke, Deirdre Brennan, Fionntán de Brún, Séamas Mac Annaidh, Seán Mac Mathúna, Eilís Ní Dhuibhne, Dara Ó Conaola, Daithí Ó Muirí, Mícheál Ó Ruairc, Gabriel Rosenstock, Daithí Sproule, Alan Titley.

A fierce new chorus of voices emerges from contemporary Ireland. Eight writers. Sixteen unforgettable stories. Translated from Irish for the first time. Stories from Belfast to Kerry, from the immigrant experience to the weight of tradition, these voices refuse easy comfort. They explore the raw territories of motherhood and loss, desire and betrayal and the clash between old certainties and new realities. A tattooist claims his lover's skin. A widow faces an impossible choice about her disabled son. Birds of prey stalk through dreams of environmental catastrophe. 

Here is family in all its beautiful, terrible complexity — the bonds that sustain us, the ones that suffocate, the love that heals and the secrets that destroy.Bold, unflinching, and impossible to ignore Stepsisters showcases the depth and power of contemporary Irish women's writing.

Featuring stories from Éithne Ní Ghallchobhair, Deirdre Brennan, Róise Ní Bhaoill, Biddy Jenkinson, Katherine Duffy andRéaltán Ní Leannáin.
