Description Gerry Adams imagines an Ireland in which the 1916 Proclamation is seen as an historic document in the mould of the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence and the Freedom Charter.
He outlines the challenge of transforming Irish society through a vision of self-determination and sovereignty, inclusiveness and equality. He looks to the protection of tradition and culture, the defence of rural communities; the special importance of children and women, and the need to liberate the individual while instilling a feeling of community and protecting the environment.
Author President of Sinn Féin and Westminster MP for West Belfast, Gerry Adams has been a published writer since 1982. His books have won critical acclaim in many quarters and have been widely translated. His writings range from local history and reminiscence to politics and short stories, and they include the fullest and most authoritative exposition of modern Irish republicanism.
