An Ghluaiseacht
In 1969, tháinig dream óg le chéile i gConamara chun tabhairt faoi fheachtas a d’athródh todhchaí na Gaeltachta go deo. Spreagtha ag agóidíocht a bhí ag tarlú ar fud na cruinne, bunaíodh Gluaiseacht Chearta Sibhialta na Gaeltachta mar sheasamh in aghaidh an feall a bhí á dhéanamh ar phobal imeallaithe agus a dteanga.
Insíonn an leabhar seo scéal corraitheach na Gluaiseachta, idir bhunú stáisiún raidió mídhleathach, ionsaithe ar pholaiteoirí, seilbh glactha ar fhoirgnimh rialtais, círéibeacha le Gardaí, feachtais toghchánaíochta, buamáil agus máirseáil. Bhí an Ghluaiseacht go seasta ar phríomhleathanaigh na nuachtán náisiúnta.
Ach as an agóidíocht ar fad, tháinig na hathruithe ba shuntasaí a tharla i dtaobh na Gaeltachta riamh. Saolaíodh Raidió na Gaeltachta agus bunaíodh Údarás na Gaeltachta. Athraíodh féile an Oireachtais ó bhun agus cuireadh an síol do TG4. Crochadh comharthaí bóthair i nGaeilge amháin sna Gaeltachtaí agus spreagadh gníomhartha pobail trí chomharchumainn.
Tugann an leabhar seo le chéile den chéad uair an scéal iomlán faoin nglúin radacach a sheas an fód ar son chearta mhuintir na Gaeltachta, agus an feachtas gearr, corraitheach a d’athraigh an Ghaeltacht ó bhun.

In 1969, a group of young people came together in Conamara to launch a campaign that would forever change the future of the Gaeltacht. Inspired by civil rights movements around the world, they founded Gluaiseacht Chearta Sibhialta na Gaeltachta as a stand against the injustices facing a marginalised community and their language.
This book tells the moving story of An Ghluaiseacht, including the establishment of an illegal radio station, protests, campaigns, and marches.
Their activism resulted in significant changes in the Gaeltacht. Raidió na Gaeltachta was born and Údarás na Gaeltachta was established as a result of their efforts. The Oireachtas festival was changed from the ground up and the seeds for TG4 were planted. Road signs were posted in Irish throughout the Gaeltacht regions, and community initiatives were promoted through cooperatives.
This book brings together for the first time the full story about the radical generation that stood up for the rights of the people living in the Gaeltacht areas, and the rapid and powerful campaign that had far-reaching positive consequences for people living in the regions.

Ceann de na píosaí neamhfhicsin is fearr a foilsíodh le blianta fada. Tá obair na gcapall déanta ag Mac Con Iomaire chun cur síos a dhéanamh ar ghné cheilte de stair na hÉireann. Ní hamháin sin, ach is leabhar thar a bheith tráthúil é nuair a dhéanann tú machnamh ar an ngéarchéim tithíochta sa Ghaeltacht agus ar na agóidí atá ar siúl fós. 'Plus ça change', mar a déarfá.
