| Notes: | Translated from Irish to English from back cover: Léargas atá sa saothar seo ar phobal i ndeisceart Chonamara sa naoú haois déag - cé dar díobh iad, cé as ar tháinig siad agus céleis a raibh siad ag ioc cíosa. Ina theannta sin, féachtar ar an gcaoi ar shaothraigh siad ar muir is ar tír agus ar an gcaoi ar athraigh a dteacht isteach le himeacht ama. Féachtar ar na himeachtaí agus ar na fórsaí, ar a leas nó a n-aimhleas, a bhí ag brú isteach orthu. Pobal teann neamhspleách a bhí iontu a chaith déanamh dóibh fein cuid mhaith ach a tháinig slán ainneoin na hanarca. Ba é breith oifigeach stáit amháin fúthu ag deireadh an chéid = This work is an insight into a community in southern Connemara in the nineteenth century - who they thought they were, where they came from and who they paid rent to. It also looks at how they worked at sea and on land and how their income changed over time. It looks at the events and the forces, for better or for worse, that were pressing on them. They were a tight-knit independent community that had to do a lot for themselves but survived despite the anarchy. The decision of one state official at the end of the century was: 'bright countenances, fine physique, and respectable appearance ... intellectually and physically a superior race, infinitely capable'. Includes bibliographical references (pages 301-318) and index. Physical description: 325 pages : illustrations (some color), maps (some color), portraits ; 21 cm. more |
