This book presents a cross-section of contemporary ethnographic research on Ireland, ranging from the more traditional concerns of ethnography with rural communities and their heritage to the more recent interest in political culture and socio-economic development. It includes particularly valuable contributions on topics which have to date received little ethnographic attention, such as immigration to the West of Ireland, or the commodification of heritage, and covers both parts of the island.
