Bücher von Kevin Danaher

In his inimitable style, gifted folklorist Kevin Danaher invites the reader to call on people of a former generation in their homes, to sit around the hearth, to listen to their tales and gossip and sample their food and drink, to marvel at their implements, to meet a water diviner, to join a faction fight, hurry to a wedding and bow down in remembrance of the dead. For over thirty years, this book has charmed, informed and surprised successive generations of readers, in Ireland and abroad.

Amid growing agitation over corporate-sponsored globalization, this study is written by two activists who are constantly in the eye of this storm. "Insurrection" charts the growth of this dissatisfaction, and gives us a glimpse of where this movement might be headed.
