Why would an American girl-child, born into a good, Irish-Catholic family in the thick of the McCarthy era a girl who, when she came of age, entered a convent morph into an atheist, feminist, and Marxist?The answer is in Helena Sheehans fascinating account of her journey from her 1940s and 1950s beginnings, into the turbulent 1960s, when the Vietnam War, black power, and womens liberation rocked her bedrock assumptions and prompted a volley of life-upending questions questions shared by millions of young people of her generation. But, for Helena Sheehan, the increasingly radicalized answers deepened through the following decades.Beginning by overturning such certainties as America-is-the-worlds-greatest-country and the-Church-is-infallible, Sheehan went on to embrace existentialism, philosophical pragmatism, the new left, and eventually Marxism.Migrating from the United States to Ireland, she became involved with Irish republicanism and international communism in the 1970s and 1980s. Sheehans narrative vividly captures the global sweep and contradictions of second-wave feminism, anti-war activism, national liberation movements, and international communism in Eastern and Western Europe as well as the quieter intellectual ferment of individuals living through these times.Navigating the Zeitgeist is an eloquently articulated voyage from faith to enlightenment to historical materialism that informs as well as entertains. This is the story of a well-lived political and philosophical life,told by a woman who continues to interrogate her times. Why would an American girl-child, born into a good, Irish-Catholic family in the thick of the McCarthy era a girl who, when she came of age, entered a convent morph into an atheist, feminist, and Marxist?
