Conflict, Diaspora, and Empire: Irish Nationalism in Britain, 1912–1922

The actions of Irish nationalists in Britain are often characterised as a 'sideshow' to the revolutionary events in Ireland between 1912 and 1922. This original study argues, conversely, that Irish nationalism in Britain was integral to contemporary Irish and British assessments of the Irish Revolution between the Third Home Rule Bill and the Anglo-Irish Treaty. Darragh Gannon charts the development of Irish nationalism across the Irish Sea over the course of a historic decade in United Kingdom history – from constitutional crisis, to war, and revolution. The book documents successive Home Rule and IRA campaigns in Britain coordinated by John Redmond and Michael Collins respectively and examines the mobilisation of Irish migrant communities in British cities in response to major political crises, from the Ulster crisis to the First World War. Finally, Conflict, Diaspora, and Empire assesses the impacts of Irish nationalism in metropolitan Britain, from Whitehall to Westminster. The Irish Revolution, this study concludes, was defined by political conflicts, and cultures, across the Irish Sea.

Recenzii

'An essential addition to the history of Irish nationalism. Moving between Dublin and British cities like London, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow, this book tells the fascinating story of how the Irish diaspora balanced their commitment to freedom for Ireland with the realities of living at the heart of the British Empire.' Roisin Healy, University of Galway
'This is an important book which transforms our understanding of the Irish diaspora in Britain and its politics across the crucial period 1912–1922. Combining the methods and arguments of new political history with a thorough archival reconstruction of Irish nationalist politics, Conflict, Diaspora and Empire deserves to be widely read.' Jon Lawrence, University of Exeter
'A striking work of new political history, this study illuminates the politics of Irish diasporic nationalism during a pivotal era. In rich archival detail, it traces the evolution from constitutional to militant nationalism and offers new ways of thinking about minority politics in twentieth-century Britain.' Mo Moulton, University of Birmingham
