Brewing Identities: Globalisation, Guinness and the Production of Irishness

by Brenda Murphy

Overview

Brewing Identities is unique in that, while it focuses on the (re)production of a specific kind of ethno-national identity - Irishness - it is simultaneously transnational in scope, as the author maps the trails of products, people and symbolic constructs through a globalised world.
