Paris, City of Dreams
Napoleon III, Baron Haussmann, and the Creation of Paris[A] wonderful and fascinating book. . . .

Paris
Secret Gardens, Hidden Places, and Stories of the City of LightThere’s a clear passion for Paris in these pages. Prolific Paris historian and author McAuliffe presents the well-researched history, celebrities, and anecdotes from each of the City of Light’s main neighborhoods, from the very touristy Montmartre and Latin Quarter to the not-as-well known Montparnasse and Grand Croisée. Countless facts astound. The Louvre was built as a fortress against the King of England. Two windmills exist within the city limits. Le Corbusier designed a University of Paris building. And along with the storied Seine, a second river (the hidden Bievre) flows through Paris. There are also entrancing stories of Man Ray’s affair with his muse, Kiki; the famous people buried in Père Lachaise cemetery; and the formation of the Eiffel Tower.

Commemoration, Gender, and the Postcolonial Carceral StateMagdalen history has long been marginalised.

Women and the Decade of Commemorations
"What an impressive collection of scholarly insights and reflections on the many overlooked but hugely influential roles played by Irish women in those convulsive times through the Great War, the Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War. The eyes cast over the history of those times have often been blinkered. Facts, truths, perspectives and analyses which could have offered more complete account did not always make it through the embedded filters which both subtly and unsubtly skewed the narratives away from what the stories of women could add and infill. This collection of very fine essays helps redress the imbalance. It offers us important pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of our history that we did not know we had lost but that we have been lost without."—Mary McAleese, Former President of Ireland"Crucially, 'to commemorate' is 'to call to remembrance' and this volume of essays is a clarion call: making newly visible Irish women's historical agency and international impact, and countering a century of oblivion and neglect."—Margaret Kelleher, Chair of Anglo-Irish Literature and Drama, University College Dublin
