About this book
How to Be Irish: Uncovering the Curiosities of Irish Behaviour by Slattery, David. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781871305241.
From the quintessential Irish Mammy to love for all things GAA, the Irish have particularities - and peculiarities - that make them different from their neighbors. Social anthropologist David Slattery takes us through the rules of being Irish with deadpan humor, from how to approach an Irish wedding or funeral to the Irish attitude to health, business, politics, death, Christmas, and being cool. A unique popular anthropology book about being Irish, not only will this book prove instructive to the tourist or foreigner who wants to blend in without a fuss, but the Irish will find it an interesting mirror.
