Biography
Tom Inglis is Associate Professor of Sociology at University College Dublin. He is author of three books on Ireland: Moral Monopoly, Lessons in Irish Sexuality, and Truth, Power and Lies.
"Global Ireland is quite simply a masterpiece. Tom Inglis has set out to connect
the small personal worlds of family, community, tradition and place, with the
large-scale processes of globalization. His canvas is the modern history of
Ireland, and the challenge is to explain how a small country with a robust
sense of its own cultural distinctiveness has nonetheless been transformed into
one of the most globalized countries in the world. Clearly written and
well-informed, subtle and sensitive to paradox, this book will have a wide
readership among all those interested in Ireland, globalization and the Irish
diaspora, and will become a reference point for years to come." - Robert Holton, University of Dublin, Trinity College
With Global Ireland, Inglis brings his critique of Irish Society right up to date by showing the impact globalisation has exerted on a certain notion of 'Irishness' The book is thought provoking and challenging. Eamon Maher
