Join us at the Irish Cultural Centre for a fascinating evening with James Hawes, author of the No. 1 Irish Times bestsellerThe Shortest History of Ireland.
From medieval kingdoms and roaming scholars to invasion, famine, partition and independence, Hawes takes a fresh look at the forces that have shaped Ireland—and the extraordinary influence this small island has had on the wider world.
Drawing on the latest scholarship, he challenges familiar assumptions and looks beyond the clichés to explore a history of cultural resilience, conflict and reinvention. How has Ireland absorbed successive waves of newcomers? How have its emigrants helped shape Europe and America? And what might its turbulent past tell us about its future?
Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious about Ireland’s story, join us for an evening of bold ideas, fresh perspectives and lively conversation.
