  Abstract:  Irish Ethnologies was published in 2011, under the editorship of Diarmuid Ó. Giolláin, as the English counterpart to the volume Irlande après Arensberg et O Duilearga, which appeared first in the second issue of the Ethnologie française, vol. 41 (2011). The volume comprises a series of essays, pieced together seamlessly into a collection that cross-examines issues of Irish anthropology and folklore. This anthology opens new lines of inquiry into matters of nationalism, colonialism, or folklore and fosters a greater understanding of all the adjacent fields to ethnology. The volume also stands testament to Ireland’s coming-of-age in anthropology and folklore studies. The generous corpus of texts accumulated in the last few decades prove that Ireland is not only a gold mine of folkloric resources but also a fertile ground for exploring topics of contemporary interest, ranging from post-colonialism, political ideology, national identity, to environmental concerns.
