Fieldnotes from Celtic Palestineembodies a new type of sociologicalwriting that weaves ethnography with memoir as well as fusing otherconvention-breaking literary forms, styles and devices.

In its innovativeanalysis of the rhetorical power of the creative works of four Celticwitnesses to the conflict in Palestine, three Irish and one Welsh, itexplores how the creative practitioner may effectively engage inpolitical persuasion and activism without compromising their art. Thebook also reflects upon a series of encounters in the field between theauthor and various individuals

political prisoners, diplomats,members of terrorist organisations, members of the security services,journalists and politicians, and also ordinary people making their livesin a society profoundly shaped by brutal ethno-political occupation andconflict. Amongst these encounters is that of being served tea by thedaughter of a Hamas suicide bomber, and that of being taken to Jewishsettlements regarded as illegal under international law.

Reviews for Fieldnotes from Celtic Palestine

""This is a compelling exploration of the creative response to conflict in Palestine by three Irish writers and a Welsh visual artist. Diarmait Mac Giolla Chrίost's extensive research and germane analysis questionswhat art is for, and bears witness to what can art do as political activism while still remaining art.""-- ""Christine Kinsey, artist, author, curator, and co-founder and director of Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff""
