"Reclaiming Gender is a pioneering work that advances Irish studies by stimulating interdisciplinary dialogue between general Irish studies and gender studies. The famine, Republicanism, queer studies, and emigration to England are all examined through a gendered lens, as gender is the crucial analytical thread that ties local action to the overall development of the world economy. By main-streaming gender into the state, political economy, culture, and the diaspora, this volume provides a feminist revision of Irish studies that challenges masculinized modes of cognition to rethink reality in gendered terms. The book provides a helpful introduction to major theoretical concerns as well as a fascinating revision of the modern Irish and diasporic experience."--BOOK JACKET.
