Reclaiming the European Street by Michael D Higgins
In Reclaiming The European Street, in over twenty lively discourses, President Higgins lays out his vision for Europe.
Michael DHiggins writes brilliantly about the idea of “home” in an age of mass-migration, when even children of the middle class can scarcely afford to purchase a house. But, above all, he implies that Anderson’s critique be answered – by a Europe which, no longer constructed from above, is rebuilt from below. From the street itself. -- Declan Kiberd * Hot Press *
The book seems to be an extraordinary kaleidoscope of ideas enmeshed in a dazzling torrent of words that could threaten to drown the reader. However as the book progresses, so does the understanding of the reader and an understanding of what the European Union can offer us, in theory at least, emerges. -- Des Kenny * Galway Advertiser *
