Liverpool Irish Famine Trail: Revive (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Historical, bold and purposeful, Liverpool Irish Famine Trail: Revive revisits the establishment of the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail; reviving sites of importance and detailing Ireland's influence on Liverpool.

In 2021 Liverpool Irish Festival began revitalising the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail, originally established in the 1990s. Documenting the start of the project, Liverpool Irish Famine Trail: Revive describes the first year of research, undertaken by a dedicated volunteer History Research Group and the wrap-around development of the project. It considers the recent chronology of the Trail and the complex history that led to its creation, based on the origin story of The Irish Famine and its effects on Liverpool and the region. Revive is a call to action to revisit heritage, increase interest and find understanding in a period of time that continues to affect people and place today.

Marking Stage One/Year One -of what is likely to be a five stage, five-year plan- Revive celebrates the work of the Liverpool Great Hunger Commemoration Committee and honours The National Lottery Heritage Fund, which funded the work. Revive explores a process of reflection, rejuvenation, remembrance and reconnection.

Illustrating 15 sites of historical importance, and giving voice to some of the lead activists in the Trail's development, readers will learn about Liverpool's unparalleled connection with Ireland. Liverpool Irish Famine Trail: Revive documents an ambitious adventure, commemorating the lives of almost 1.24million people and the lasting impact many of them have had on Liverpool.

Autorenporträt

Emma Smith is Artistic Director and CEO of the Liverpool Irish Festival since 2016 to the time of writing (2022). Along with a volunteer History Research Group, a National Lottery Hertiage Fund grant and the History Research Group lead, John Maguire (also of Arts Groupie CIC), Emma and the Festival have led on the work that has developed this book, with Emma serving as editor and compositor of the stories within.

Liverpool Irish Famine Trail: Revive presents the first book -in what we hope will be a collection of books- marking the redevelopment, growth and community activity that brings the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail in to common use, serving as a cultural and historical asset for the city and the people with whom it provides connection.
