Beschreibung:
Mike Cronin, academic director of Boston College - Ireland, has written widely on Irish history, including The Blueshirts and Irish Politics (1997), Sport and Nationalism in Ireland (1999), and with Mark Duncan and Paul Rouse, The GAA - A People's History (2009). Roisin Higgins is a Research Fellow in Botson College-Ireland. She has published on various aspects of nineteenth and twentieth Irish history and was co-editor of The Life and After-Life of P.H. Pearse (2009).
How many of us ever take the time to think about the history of Ireland's sporting sites? This book urges us to do just that. From national stadia to local pitches, from exclusive golf courses to derelict sites of former sporting glory, it explores the spaces where ordinary people have congregated and community identities have been formed.
