Inis Beag
Inis Beag (Gaelic: "Little Island") is a pseudonym given by the cultural anthropologist John Cowan Messenger to an isolated small Gaelic-speaking Irish Catholic community on one of the Aran Islands off the coast of Connemara in Ireland, in his study "Sex and Repression in an Irish Folk Community". During the period of Messenger's study between 1958 and 1966, Inis Beag supported a population of around 350, mostly living by subsistence farming and fishing.
