Ireland: The Politics of Independence, 1922-49

by Mike Cronin, John M. Regan (Editor)

Irish society at the end of the twentieth century is still engaged in an ongoing debate with a revolutionary settlement from which it is only now beginning to emerge. This series of thought-provoking essays on post-revolutionary settlement in independent Ireland addresses central themes and offers sustained historiographical critiques of current thinking. The aim of the volume is to revisit existing debates within the context of new and broader research interests to contribute to our understanding of the meaning of independence in modern Ireland.
