The Partition of Ireland: 1918–1925

Autor Robert Lynch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 apr 2019
Partition represents the most fundamental revolution in modern Irish history. By 1925 the country had been divided into two states embodying rival religious and political identities, an outcome unthinkable only a decade before. While often analysed through the lens of elite high politics, partition was by definition a mass participation event, where decision making was shaped by elections, propaganda and savage acts of violence in defence of or in opposition to the new settlement. By examining the complex interaction of nationalism, religion and politics, Robert Lynch seeks to understand how partition was constructed and imagined by Irish people themselves, arguing for a relocation of partition at the centre of historical understandings of events in Ireland which spanned the Great War. Lynch highlights the deep confusion and expediency which lay behind the partition plan, and how it failed to provide answers to the complex and enduring problems of Irish identity.

Recenzii

'A scholarly, detailed and historically-minded analysis of an enduringly central feature of Irish politics.' Richard English, Queen's University Belfast
'Robert Lynch has written an insightful and absorbing study of partition. Questions are raised about how we understand the nature of partition, its meaning in modern Irish history, and how it shaped and reshaped the identities of those living with its impact, both north and south. It is a history as relevant today as it was a hundred years ago.' Maria Luddy, University of Warwick
'The Partition of Ireland is now a critical must-read work on the Irish revolution and goes a long way toward its goal of restoring partition to the center of modern Irish history.' Jason Knirck, H-Albion
