Sinn Fin

Autor Brian Feeney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 ian 2010

În această a doua ediție revizuită a lucrării Sinn Fin, Brian Feeney actualizează cronica unuia dintre cele mai controversate partide din politica irlandeză. Descoperim aici o analiză extinsă care include parcursul recent al formațiunii, marcat de intrarea la guvernare în Irlanda de Nord și de consolidarea poziției în Republica Irlanda. Autorul nu se limitează la o simplă trecere în revistă a evenimentelor, ci propune o examinare critică a modului în care Sinn Féin și-a remodelat identitatea pe parcursul unui secol, navigând între idealismul revoluționar și pragmatismul constituțional.

Textul beneficiază de experiența jurnalistică a lui Feeney, oferind un portret detaliat al figurilor emblematice care au definit mișcarea, de la fondatorul Arthur Griffith până la arhitecții procesului de pace, Gerry Adams și Martin McGuinness. Putem afirma că rigoarea analizei transformă această istorie populară într-un instrument esențial pentru înțelegerea dinamicii politice din insulă. Volumul acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum The Resurrection of Ireland de Michael Laffan, însă, în timp ce Laffan se concentrează pe perioada critică 1916-1923, Feeney oferă o perspectivă mult mai largă, de tip „longue durée”, urmărind evoluția partidului până în prezent. De asemenea, spre deosebire de New Sinn Féin de Agnès Maillot, care pune accent pe creșterea electorală de după Acordul din Vinerea Mare, lucrarea de față integrează aceste succese recente într-un context istoric de o sută de ani, explicând transformările ideologice profunde din sânul republicanismului irlandez.

Recenzii

'This is an easy read, a popular history which glitters with insight and valuably illuminates the present ... the elegant way he has laid out a mass of fact, quote, reminiscence and deft observation in a work which, among its other qualities, includes the best and most level-headed account of the Provos in the Peace Process yet to emerge.' -- Eamonn McCann - The Sunday Tribune The Sunday Tribune 'An analytical and narrative masterpiece ... Brian Feeney has managed to recount the roller-coaster history of Sinn Fein in a balanced and extremely vivid manner.' -- Professor Declan Kiberd 'Historian and political journalist Feeney is well qualified to make this a definitive text on the vast list of figures and their advances as well as setbacks in this phoenix of a party.' -- Books Ireland Books Ireland 'Feeney's book represents the first attempt to outline the long-term historical development of Sinn Fein both as a party and as a movement ... Feeney's analysis of the early years of Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland, and its more recent history as part of the burgeoning peace process, is masterful, fast-moving and well-argued.' -- Derry People Donegal News Derry People & Donegal News 'Brian Feeney's history of the party is obviously timely. It is also impressive. Feeney ... diligently traces the party through its various incarnations from the loose grouping launched by Arthur Griffith in 1905 to the slick machine of today. Feeney's work is clear, thorough and fluently written.' -- Sunday Business Post Sunday Business Post 'Already confirmed as an astute observer of the political landscape here, Brian Feeney is well placed to document and analyse the progress of Sinn Fein ... He is also adept at covering the genesis and early development of a movement which, more than any other, shaped the destiny of this country over the past 100 years.' -- Fermanagh Herald '(T)he first comprehensive account ever written on the history of the party. Feeney has managed to do that with an account that is well-written and always easy to read ... With contributions from Danny Morrison, Tom Hartley, Jim Gibney and Ruairi O Bradaigh and drawing on the writings of Gerry Adams, Feeney's latest book ... will become a reference point for every student of Irish history.' -- North Belfast News 'For anyone wishing to understand the changing fortunes of Sinn Fein, Brian Feeney's book will be essential, indeed vital reading ... He manages at the same time to be judicious, well informed and un-academic.' -- Irish Catholic The Irish Catholic 'Fascinating and engrossing ... This excellent book will to appeal those interested in Irish history and Irish political history in particular.' -- Bray People Bray People 'Should be required reading for all those who believe that Sinn Fein is incapable of being anything other than what they insist it has always been. Certainly it will be the starting point definitive text on the subject of political republicanism, standing alongside the histories of the IRA written by Tim Pat Coogan and J. Bowyer-Bell.' -- Ulster Herald 'Timely reading for those who wish to gain a balanced perspective of a movement which claims to be the dynamo of change in both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland.' -- Evening Herald Evening Herald 'Feeney's books serves as useful overview and is to be welcomed' -- Irish Democrat 'This is an easy read, a popular history which glitters with insight and valuably illuminates the present ... the elegant way he has laid out a mass of fact, quote, reminiscence and deft observation in a work which, among its other qualities, includes the best and most level-headed account of the Provos in the Peace Process yet to emerge.' -- Eamonn McCann - The Sunday Tribune The Sunday Tribune 'An analytical and narrative masterpiece ...

Descriere

Sinn Féin is one of the oldest and most controversial parties in Irish politics. This is the fascinating story of a party which has repeatedly reshaped its identity over a hundred years. From Arthur Griffith to Gerry Adams, Sinn Féin boasts a roll-call of major personalities from twentieth-century Irish history including de Valera, Markievicz, Collins, Ó Brádaigh, Goulding, MacGiolla, and McGuinness. Brian Feeney traces Sinn Féin's zigzag path towards constitutional politics and presents a critical analysis of the party's personalities and policies over the century. He shows how it has arrived at last in government in the north with hopes of a future role in coalition in the republic, and confidently predicting a united Ireland. This is an important and timely book from an esteemed journalist, and an impartial analysis of Sinn Féin's involvement in Irish politics, north and south, over the last hundred years.
