| Summary: | "Stories of the Black and Tans have been told across Ireland since the force was first released into the country in March 1920. Casting a dark and lingering shadow, they remain an evocative and emotive subject. To many people who lived through their time in Ireland and to those who inherited stories about them, the Black and Tans were the embodiment of British repression, violence and malevolence. The Time of the Tans, based on almost two decades of oral history recordings made in County Clare by Tomás Mac Conmara, as well as multiple private family collections, illuminates the stories of a period that has dominated the historical consciousness of Ireland for 100 years. From the direct testimony of 105-year-old Margaret Hoey to the inherited tradition of Flan O'Brien, who was born in 1927, the stories pulsate with an intensity of emotion, carried in their telling from the original environment"--Back cover. |
