Event and Its Terrors: Ireland, Famine, Modernity

SYNOPSIS

McLean (anthropology and global studies, U. of Minnesota) looks at how publicly enacted signifiers of social memory become embedded in an imagined past from which the present both emerged and struggles to free itself. The Great Famine of the 1840s is his example. The study served as his Ph.D. dissertation in anthropology for Columbia University in 1999. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
