Conflict, Diaspora, and Empire by Darragh Gannon
From the politics of John Redmond to the political violence of Michael Collins, Irish nationalism in Britain was integral to British assessments of the Irish Question. Far from a 'sideshow' to the revolutionary events in Ireland, this study argues that the Irish Revolution was defined by political conflicts, and cultures, across the Irish Sea.
'An essential addition to the history of Irish nationalismMoving 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
