Book
We don't know ourselves : a personal history of modern Ireland / Fintan O'Toole.
"Fintan O'Toole was born in the year the revolution began. It was 1958, and the Irish government--in despair, because all the young people were leaving--opened the country to foreign investment and popular culture. So began a decades-long, ongoing experiment with Irish national identity. In [this book], O'Toole, one of the Anglophone world's most consummate stylists, weaves his own experiences into Irish social, cultural, and economic change, showing how Ireland, in just one lifetime, has gone from a reactionary 'backwater' to an almost totally open society--perhaps the most astonishing national transformation in modern history."-- Provided by publisher.
