Contemporary Irish Writing and Environmentalism

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of culture and activism, this book explores the impact of the Irish environmental movement on contemporary writers, artists, and musicians since the 1970s. It delves into the realms of environmental writing, music, and art, framed within their cultural contexts. The analysis incorporates postcolonial ecocriticism and examines the rhetoric surrounding significant environmental protests, including the M3 Motorway and Shell to Sea, situating these movements within the larger narratives of Irish national and postcolonial discourse.
