Routledge Library Editions: Political Geography
From votes to strikes to street violence, politics is intrinsically geographical. Many of the books in this set, originally published between 1964 and 1990, illustrate that the social contexts provided by localities are crucial in defining distinctive political identities and subsequent political activities.
Celtic Tiger in Collapse
Since the first edition there have been fundamental changes in the Irish growth model. The sudden collapse of the Irish economy in 2008 raises questions such as: why the sudden and deep decline in economic growth? What are the prospects for a return to growth? Answering these questions and more, this book is the definitive work on the Celtic Tiger.
Swing Out of the Blue
You're not as messed up as you think. At least, that's what her friend Zack always says. Sophia isn't so sure. She is sure, though, that swing dancing helps as she struggles through depression in her final year at Queen's University. Then she breaks her ankle. Her defence is gone. Zack seems to believe people can change, even the bullies who almost broke him, and Sophia has to hope he's right as she spirals toward despair. But any challenge can be a blessing as well as a curse. In this modern coming-of-age tale, against the backdrop of bullying, mental illness and even darker threats, Swing Out of the Blue is a story of vulnerability, friendship, courage and personal growth, and of recognizing, above all, that we are not alone.
Turning the Tune
The last century has seen radical social changes in Ireland, which have impacted all aspects of local life but none more so than traditional Irish music, an increasingly important identity marker both in Ireland and abroad. The author focuses on a small village in County Clare, which became a kind of pilgrimage site for those interested in experiencing traditional music. He begins by tracing its historical development from the days prior to the influx of visitors, through a period called "the Revival," in which traditional Irish music was revitalized and transformed, to the modern period, which is dominated by tourism. A large number of incomers, locally known as "blow-ins," have moved to the area, and the traditional Irish music is now largely performed and passed on by them. This fine-grained ethnographic study explores the commercialization of music and culture, the touristic consolidation and consumption of “place,” and offers a critique of the trope of "authenticity," all in a setting of dramatic social change in which the movement of people is constant.
