Please Join the Center for Irish
Partnerships at UMass Lowell for
A TALK AND DISCUSSION ON:
Language Resistance and Revival: From
Prison to Community
Reflecting on research undertaken for his widely acclaimed book
Language, Resistance and Revival: Republican Prisoners and the
Irish Language in the North of Ireland, Dr Feargal Mac
Ionnrachtaigh’s lecture will draw on his ground-breaking and unique
research on the bottom-up community language revival in the north of
Ireland.
His lecture will briefly explore Ireland’s cultural colonisation as part
of the wider British imperial project that ultimately led to the demise
of the Irish language as Ireland’s spoken language in the late 19th
century.
