This kind of intersectional history is vital not only in looking back but, in looking forward, to identify the ways in which structural callousness still marks Irish society. Essays include historical analysis of the ways in which women and children were incarcerated in residential institutions, Ireland’s Direct Provision system, the policing of female bodily autonomy though legislation on prostitution and abortion, in addition to the legacies of the Magdalen laundries. This collection also considers how artistic practice and commemoration have acted as vital interventions in social attitudes and public knowledge, helping to create knowledge and re-shape social attitudes towards this history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘..an absorbing and insightful examination of one of the most traumatic and shameful legacies of Ireland's past… an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding how such institutions came into being\u003cbr\u003eand the harm they wreaked on those women who spent time in them.’\u003cbr\u003eStudies\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: Memory, violence, and the body – Marianne Hirsch\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eList of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Commemoration, gender, and the postcolonial carceral state – Miriam Haughton, Mary McAuliffe, and Emilie Pine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I Witnessing and remembering: Magdalen Laundries\u003cbr\u003e1 Public performance and reclaiming space: Waterford's Magdalen Laundry – Jennifer O’Mahoney, Kate McCarthy, and Jonathan Culleton\u003cbr\u003e2 ‘A document of truth?’ Ireland’s Magdalen Laundries and the McAleese Report – Lucy Simpson-Kilbane\u003cbr\u003e3 Unremembered in life and death: funeral and burial practices in Ireland's Magdalen Laundries – Nathalie Sebbane\u003cbr\u003e4 Witnessing: testimonial knowledge as ongoing memory transmission – Audrey Rousseau\u003cbr\u003e5 Patricia Burke Brogan’s \u003ci\u003eEclipsed \u003c\/i\u003ein Brazil: resonances and reflections – Alinne Fernandes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II Parallel histories: then and now\u003cbr\u003e6 From Tuam to Birmingham: a case study of children’s homes in Ireland and the UK – Sarah-Anne Buckley and Lorraine Grimes\u003cbr\u003e7 Reflections on Ireland’s ‘home(s)’: shame, stigma, and grievability – Clara Fischer\u003cbr\u003e8 ‘He’d never have gotten a job like that if he ’ d stayed with me’ – the uneasy comedy of Philomena – Mary McGill\u003cbr\u003e9 ‘That stuff is FOI-able … and it could be used against us if someone takes a case’: unlawful adoption in the past and the present – how much has changed? – Conall Ó Fátharta\u003cbr\u003e10 Contract, the state, and the Magdalene Laundries – Máiréad Enright\u003cbr\u003e11 Who is protecting who and what?
