These liminal spaces are not just territories, but culture, tradition, and time. Wall focuses on the borders that divide like class, gender, and sexuality but also language and the divide between the physical and spiritual worlds\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>(Timothy J. White, Professor of Political Science, Xavier University).<\/p>\n<p>In this study, Eamonn Wall brings the work of the American writer\/scholar\/activist Gloria Anzald\u00faa into dialogue with contemporary Irish and Irish American writing to reveal the many strategies that authors employ to describe, represent and navigate borders and borderlands. Borders, as Wall reveals, are not only geographical, but they are also psychological, ethical, gendered, abstract and obvious, and underlie much of life. Borderlands are liminal spaces in areas alongside borders that can be both liberating and frightening. Employing Anzald\u00faa\u2019s language and methodology, Wall\u2019s reveals how central borderlands are to the work of John McGahern, E.M. Reapy, Anna Burns, \u00dana Minh-Kavanagh, Terence Winch, Louis Owens, James Welsh, Chiamaka Enyi-Amadi, Philip Casey, and others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published by: Reimagining Ireland\/Peter Lang. https:\/\/www.peterlang.com\/document\/1524721 \u00abIn an era when borders that previously defined Irish literature \u2013 whether spatial, social or of the body &#8211; demand renewed interrogation, Eamonn Wall\u2019s book breathes energy and rigour into readings of Irish writers ranging from \u2018homegrown\u2019 to \u2018immigrant and diasporic\u2019, and reveals the emergence of increasingly hybrid creative &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">2025 New Book: Conocimiento: Writing Irish Borderlands<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-424","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=424"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":454,"href":"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/424\/revisions\/454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
