| Summary | Annotation There is probably no national day that has such global popularity as St Patrick's Day. On St Patrick's Day, it is reputed that 'Everyone is Irish'. What are the factors and factions that give the day such popular appeal? Is St Patrick's Day the same around the world - in Japan, Northern Ireland and Montserrat - as it is in the Republic of Ireland and the United States? Just how does 'Irishness' figure in the celebration and commemoration of St Patrick's Day, and how has this day been commoditized, consumed and contested? Does St Patrick's Day 'belong' to the people, the nation or the brewery? This edited volume brings together the best St Patrick's Day and Irish Studies scholars from the fields of history, anthropology, sociology, Irish studies, diaspora studies, and cultural studies. |
