520    Until alarmingly recently, the Catholic Church, acting in 
       concert with the Irish state, operated a network of 
       institutions for the concealment, punishment and 
       exploitation of 'fallen women'. 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. Mortality 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. Caelainn Hogan - a
       brilliant young journalist, born in an Ireland that was 
       only just starting to free itself from the worst excesses 
       of Catholic morality - has been talking to the survivors 
       of the institutions, to members of the religious orders 
       that ran them, and to priests and bishops. She has visited
       the sites of the institutions, and studied Church and 
       state documents that have much to reveal about how they 
       operated. Reporting and writing with great curiosity, 
       tenacity and insight, she has produced a startling and 
       often moving account of how an entire society colluded in 
       this repressive system, and of the damage done to 
       survivors and their families. In the great tradition of 
       Anna Funder's Stasiland and Barbara Demick's Nothing to 
       Envy: Real Lives in North Korea - both winners of the 
       Samuel Johnson Prize - Republic of Shame is an astounding 
       portrait of a deeply bizarre culture of control
