📖 The Scoop
Margaret Mead Award finalist! Nan Donohoe was an Irish Travelling woman,
one of Ireland’s indigenous gypsies or “tinkers.” Traditionally, they
traveled the countryside making and repairing tinware, sweeping
chimneys, selling small household wares, and doing odd-job work. Over
time, they came to live on the roadside in trailers and in
government-built camps. Told largely in her own voice, Nan’s saga begins
in 1919 with her birth in a tent in the Irish Midlands; it follows her
life in Ireland and England, in countryside and city slums, through
adversity and adventure. Gmelch brings to her task not only the
resources of anthropology, but the skill of a sensitive writer and a
warmth that allows her to see Nan as a person, not a subject. What
emerges is a human story, filled with cruelty and compassion, sorrow and
humor, bad luck and good.
Genre: Social Science / Anthropology / Cultural (fancy, right?)
