A Sense of Place: Irish Community Resistance to the Globalisation of Hazard
Takes place at 8pm on Wednesday, 28th April
Room 4, SU Building, University of Limerick
All welcome A Sense of Place: Irish Community Resistance to the Globalisation of Hazard
by Robert Allen (first delivered at UCC, March 4, 2004, published in Blue http://www.bluegreenearth.com)
Abstract:
Irish community opposition to the globalisation of hazard - industries that pollute and poison - has gone through radical change since its first battles against state and industry in the early 1970s. After two decades of conflict, which did not prevent the globalisation of Irish society, the atavistic nature of the protest has begun to employ new techniques and different strategies. Communities are locally committed but globally oriented and wise; the issues are no longer environmental or social, they are now about injustice - and communities are beginning to realise that their sense of place is more important than anything else, if only because there is no place left to go.
Robert Allen is the author of No Global: The People of Ireland versus the Multinationals, Pluto Press, London/Sterling/Dublin, published in April
2004.
