It's not easy to say what Blarney is. It has been described as an ability to deceive without giving offense, a description that must surely have been thought up by someone who couldn't Blarney. Others say it's the gift of saying the right thing instead of the obvious. Whatever it is, Blarney is the secret weapon of the Irish, allowing the average Irishman to charm almost anyone. Blarney is probably what St. Patrick used to drive the snakes from Ireland and THE BOOK OF BLARNEY has it all--from Shamrock Sham and Drinking Blarney to Taxi Blarney and Blarney Time. From Business Blarney to Sex Blarney, even Irish poets use Blarney, that unique form of Irish speech that tends to give a special spin to the meaning of words by the time they reach the ears of listeners. The Irish are special, and Blarney is that special form of conversation that seeps into the marrow of your bones and weaves its way into the soul like Irish stew. Isn't the Blarney Stone itself, that symbol of the Irish that people are willing to bend all the way over backwards just to kiss, just another form of Blarney?

The African National Congress (ANC) is Africa’s most famous liberation movement. It has recently celebrated its centenary, a milestone that has prompted partisans to detail a century of unparalleled achievement in the struggle against colonialism and racial discrimination. Critics paint a less flattering portrait of the historical ANC as a communist puppet, a moribund dinosaur, or an elitist political parasite. For such skeptics, the ANC—now in government for two decades—has betrayed South Africans rather than liberating them. South Africans endure deep inequality and unemployment, violent community protests, murders of foreign residents, major policy blunders, an AIDS crisis, and deepening corruption. Inside the ANC there are episodes of open rebellion against the leadership, conflicts over the character of a postliberation movement, and debilitating battles for succession to the movement’s presidency. The ANC is nevertheless likely to remain the party of government for the foreseeable future. This remarkable book explores how ANC intellectuals and leaders interpret the historical project of their movement. It investigates three interlocking ideas: a conception of power, a responsibility for promoting unity, and a commitment to human liberation. Anthony Butler explores how these notions have shaped South African politics in the past and how they will inform ANC leaders’ responses to the challenges of the future.

Blarney is the "secret weapon" of the Irish.  They always seem to know what to say and how to say it, leaving us tongue-tied and dumbfounded.  Here is your chance to learn the "lingo", and just about everything else Irish.  This is a fun, wonderful book.   When you have finished reading it, "may you gather in the streets and join in the Fleadh Cheoil".
