Kearns trekked the rough-and-tumble streets of the heart of Dublin, hoping to record and preserve the city’s vanishing oral history. Armed only with a Sony tape recorder, he encountered ordinary people – street traders, dockers, factory workers, tram drivers, housewives and midwives, children and grandparents – who shared private stories of hardship, joy, sorrow, suffering, survival and triumph.\nIn Our Day is the culmination of a life’s work – a treasure trove bursting with whispers from the past – 450 vignettes, memories and recollections gathered to present an evocative, poignant portrait of a forgotten Dublin.\n‘Those of us who know and love Dublin owe Kearns a huge debt.’ Roddy Doyle\n‘Without Kevin, the lives of ordinary decent Dubliners would be forgotten. This book is a celebration of them.’ Joe Duffy\n\nAuthor bio\n\nKevin C. Kearns, PhD, is a social historian, Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado and the author of 15 books, including several bestsellers – most notably Irish Tenement Life and Ireland’s Arctic Siege. In 2021 he was awarded the Lord Mayor’s scroll from Dublin City Council. He now lives in New England, on the coast of Maine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780717195596\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gill Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54476726174023,"sku":"20260728-110","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/7141YslDT8L.jpg?v=1785496165","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/in-our-day-an-oral-history-of-dublin-s-bygone-days","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
