The Cultural Politics of In/Difference: Irish Texts and Contexts

From the perspective of Irish Studies, this book seeks to interrogate the discourses and processes that produce and reproduce what we have termed as Ireland's cultural politics of in/difference , and its effects both in the material experience of Othered subjects and in their representation in cultural and literary forms. At the same time, it also examines strategies of dissent or resistance and possible alternatives that are being articulated both in the socio-political and the cultural arena, contributing to our communal thinking and imaginative creation of more effective forms of building community based on solid equity and social justice grounds.
