McIntyre offers a wide-ranging discussion of contemporary Irishness, tracing its entanglement with notions of mobility, regionality and identity.

Ireland's Others is a collection of essays by noted literary and cultural critic Elizabeth Butler Cullingford. In this volume, Cullingford assesses attempts by Irish writers to reverse hostile colonial stereotypes by creating analogies between their situations and those of other oppressed people. She analyzes the political costs and benefits of these analogies, and considers the plight of "others" within Ireland, including women, gays, travelers, and abused children. Cullingford illuminates the connection between gender, sexuality, and national identity by comparing modern Irish literature with contemporary Irish and American popular culture. Exploring the work of Boucicault, Shaw, Friel, Jordan, McGuinness, and others, she considers the impact of globalization on Irish culture.

Featuring some of the leading scholars of Irish history, Power and Popular Culture in Modern Ireland brings together some of the best new work in Irish history to honor James Donnelly's career and impact on Irish Studies. The volume has at its heart the issues that have permeated Donnelly's work, namely how ordinary Irish men and women experienced and responded to expressions of state and elite power and economic change. Reviewing the scholarly production of James Donnelly, the greatest American historian of Ireland of his generation, is no easy task. In his 37 year career, Donnelly has published widely and his work is of exceptional quality and widespread influence. Throughout his career, Donnelly has made critical interventions in a variety of fields in Irish historical scholarship. In each case, Donnelly's contributions have played a central role in establishing the new historiographical consensus, as well as serving as exemplars of meticulous and objective scholarship.
