520 2 "This innovative study of poverty in independent Ireland
between 1920 and 1940 is the first to place the poor at
its core by exploring their own words and letters. Written
to the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, their correspondence
represents one of the few traces in history of Irish
experiences of poverty, and collectively they illuminate
the lives of so many during the foundation decades of the
Irish state. This book keeps the human element central, so
often lost when the framework of history is policy,
institutions, and legislation. It explores how ideas of
charity, faith, gender, character and social status were
deployed in these poverty narratives and examines the
impact of poverty on the lives of these writers and the
survival strategies they employed. Finally, it considers
the role of priests in vetting and vouching for the poor
and, in so doing, perpetuating the discriminating culture
of charity"--|cProvided by publisher.
