Instead of investigating the evolution of the schools as an isolated process, he explores the complex interrelations of Irish education, institutions and society, treating the schools as cultural litmus paper. By presenting Ireland's schools as a reflection of the society that produced them, Professor Akenson demonstrates that they are, in truth, ""a mirror to the face of Kathleen ni Houlihan"".Routledge RevivalsEducationIrelandHistoryEducationHistoryElectronic books.EducationHistory.EducationHistory.370.9415370/.9415372.941Akenson Donald H.482657MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462778803321A mirror to Kathleen's face2276062UNINA
