Description

Explore a groundbreaking perspective on Irish history with A Mirror to Kathleen's Face: Education in Independent Ireland 1922-60. Originally published in 1975 by Donald Akenson, this Routledge Revival edition brings a unique scholarly approach to the study of educational development. Rather than looking at schools as isolated institutions, Akenson examines how education, institutions, and society relate to one another. He treats the school system as a cultural litmus paper, revealing how these institutions reflect the broader social landscape of the era. By studying Ireland's schools, readers gain a deeper understanding of the society that created them. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of Europe and Ireland. It provides a look at the formative years of independent Ireland through the lens of its educational evolution, offering a view of the nation as a mirror to the face of Kathleen ni Houlihan.
