Life in Ireland is often imagined through cliched images of a timeless rural society. "Culture and Customs of Ireland" looks at the real Ireland as it enters the twenty-first century. The author portrays the vibrancy of modern Ireland, which has undergone a remarkable transformation since the 1980s. At the same time, embattled Northern Ireland has taken key steps toward security and peace. This book surveys the cultural and political heritage of the Irish people, North and South. It highlights the remarkable accomplishments of Ireland's artists, writers, musicians and performers. It investigates the role of religion in Irish life, and the ways in which prosperity, feminism, and scandals within the churches have weakened that role. It looks at the impact of immigrants and refugees on contemporary society, at the increasing visibility of women on both sides of the border, and at the growing acceptance of gay people. It also looks at daily life in Ireland, at people going to work, shopping, finding someone to care for their children. In particular, it shows the challenges of maintaining Irish identity in the face of globalisation.
