This collection examines the presence of minority communities and dissident voices in Ireland both historically and in a contemporary framework. Accordingly, the contributions explore different facets of what we term Irish minority and dissident identities, ranging from political agitators drowned out by mainstream narratives of nationhood, to identities differentiated from the majority in terms of ethnicity, religion, class and health; and sexual minorities that challenge heteronormative perspectives on marriage, contraception, abortion, and divorce. At a moment when transnational democracy and the rights of minorities seem to be at risk, a book of this nature seems more pressing than ever. In different ways, the essays gathered here remind us of the importance of 'rethinking' nationhood, by a process of denaturalisation of the supremacy of white heterosexual structures.
Includes a rich and diverse range of timely topics about minority voices in the current changing climate of Ireland Draws larger connections to Irish literary history and identity by discussing the presence of minority voices in Ireland, both historically and in a contemporary framework Incorporates essays on literature, social media, film, cultural studies, politics, religion, performance studies, and art
