In the Magdalene laundries, girls and women were incarcerated and condemned to servitude. And in the mother-and-baby homes, women who had become pregnant out of wedlock were hidden from view, and in most cases their babies were adopted - sometimes illegally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMortality rates in these institutions were shockingly high, and the discovery of a mass infant grave at the mother-and-baby home in Tuam made news all over the world. The Irish state has commissioned investigations. But the workings of the institutions and of the culture that underpinned it - a shame-industrial complex - have long been cloaked in secrecy and silence. For countless people, a search for answers continues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"edition-single--book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Penguin\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e256 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e129 x 186 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 9780241984123\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57321762029899,"sku":"ROSCH01","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/RepublicofShame.webp?v=1778839930","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/de\/products\/republic-of-shame-caelainn-hogan","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
