Brewing Identities: Globalisation, Guinness and the Production of Irishness

by Brenda Murphy, Athlone C. (tina) Besley (Editor), Cameron McCarthy (Editor), Michael Adrian Peters (Editor), Fazal Rizvi (Editor)

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.
