Publisher's Synopsis
Mair'ead Nic Craith has sought to integrate critical heritage studies, cultural history, literature, and folklore into a creative ethnology. Issues of community and place, memory and nostalgia are key themes in her work. The tensions around forms, definitions, and uses of heritage are picked up in the contributions to this book. Research essays engage with the wide range of topics Mair'ead has explored. Other contributions note her support and mentoring or illustrate the author's appreciation of her work through prose, music, and artistic representations.
