Unsettled
Unsettled | Rosaleen McDonagh
1 post | 1 read
Rosaleen McDonagh writes fearlessly about a diverse experience of being Irish. 'Unsettled' explores racism, ableism, abuse and resistance as well as the bonds of community, family and friendship. As an Irish Traveller writing from a feminist perspective, McDonagh's essays are rich and complex, raw and honest, and, above all else, uncompromising.

The autobiography of "a self-confessed a la carte feminist" is both wholly recognisable and shamefully-unfamiliar to me. To have such a relatable narrator describe an Ireland that passes me by is challenging. But channeling James Baldwin in the opening pages helps somehow. The unparalleled magic of literature is hearing the unmediated voices of people who would be silenced by society.. An important read for me & my contemporaries.
