A particular focus of the book is on the exploration of the Traveler as "Other," an "Other" who is perceived as both inside and outside Ireland's collective ideation. Frequently constructed as a group whose cultural tenets are in a dichotomous opposition to that of the "settled" community, this book demonstrates the ambivalence and complexity of the Irish Traveler "Other" in the context of a European postcolonial country. Not only has the construction and representation of Travelers always been less stable and "fixed" than previously supposed, these images have been acted upon and changed by both the Traveler and non-Traveler communities as the situation has demanded. Drawing primarily on little-explored Irish language sources, this volume demonstrates the fluidity of what is often assumed as reified or "fixed." As evidenced in Irish-language cultural sources the image of the Traveler is inextricably linked with the very concept of Irish identity itself. They are simultaneously the same and "Other" and frequently function as exemplars of the hegemony of native Irish culture as set against colonial traditions. This book is an important addition to the Irish Studies canon, in particular as relating to those exciting and unexplored terrains hitherto deemed "marginal" - Traveler Studies, Romani Studies, and Diaspora/Migration Studies to name but a few. 606 $aIrish Travellers (Nomadic people) 606 $aIrish Travellers (Nomadic people)$zIreland$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIrish Travellers (Nomadic people) 615 0$aIrish Travellers (Nomadic people)$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a305.9/0691809415 700 $aO? hAodha$b Mi?chea?l$0869455 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465193503321 996 $aInsubordinate Irish$92462376 997 $aUNINA
