Looks at how the Irish government reinvented the message of 1916 through the official golden jubilee celebrations of the Rising. This book explores the organization of various unofficial commemorations in Northern Ireland in 1966 and the significance of these for nationalist and unionist politics in the mid-1960s. Not only does the book analyze the golden jubilee of the Rising from a political perspective, however, it also examines the 1966 anniversary from the perspectives of drama, performance, youth culture and history. Contributors to the book, in addition to Mary E. Daly and Margaret O'Callaghan, are: Diarmaid Ferriter, Rebecca Graff-McRae, Roisin Higgins, Carole Holohan, Michael Laffan, Catherine O'Donnell, and Anthony Roche.
