Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Land and Popular Politics in Ireland by Donald E Jordan Jr
A study of three centuries of County Mayo's history, during which it was slowly and hesitatingly transformed from being a remote, isolated, impoverished and largely hostile region of the country to being at the centre of the rapidly unfolding drama of Irish politics, and integrated into Ireland's post-Famine agrarian capitalist economy.
"..excellent study....It is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and well written. I have no doubt that other readers will find it as stimulating as I have." Samuel Clark, Albion
"...this book makes a lucid and substantial contribution to several long-running debates on economic and social change in modern Ireland." Journal of Economic History
"...[Jordan's] treatment of the period between the early 1850s and the Land War is admirable..." Times Lliterary Supplement
"...a fine addition to the most vigorous sector of Irish historical writing of the present day: regional histories, or more accurately in the Irish context, county histories...." Donald Harman Akenson, Agricultural History
"...it is the level of detail with which the themes are explored so concisely and clearly by Donald E. Jordan that marks a real advance. In addition, he makes an important revision to accepted views on some key issues...Jordan has with this book considerably advanced our understanding of the dynamics and processes of the Irish land struggle in the crucible county where it began."
