This is a book about the Irish Question, or more specifically about Irish Questions. The term has become something of a catch-all, a convenient way to encompass numerous issues and developments which pertain to the political, social, and economic history of modern Ireland. It is a question which refuses to go away, but it is also a question whose inconstant meaning is rarely anatomized and still less often denied. One of the main aims of this book is to explore the complicated and shifting nature of the Irish Question, and to assess what it has meant to various political minds and agendas. The book is arranged both thematically and chronologically; each of the eight chapters takes as its focus a particular period, and each period is discussed within the context of one or more questions which informed and shaped that particular period.
Features
A brief overview of the central themes in Irish history, politics, and culture over the last 200 years
New angles and under-researched areas are broached, such as women's history and the lives of the Catholic middle class
Senia Paseta comes to the subject as a historian with a refreshingly impartial (and sometimes acerbic) perspective on Irish history
Ideal introduction for newcomer to subject, but original treatment makes it also essential reading for those already familiar with aspects of Irish history
