Book Description
Ireland's Histories addresses this question by examining the politics, society, and ideology of Ireland from a radical perspective. It examines key historiographical issues, dealing equally with crucial aspects of both the North and the Republic. Among the many topics addressed are the history of Irish women both at home and abroad, the role of religion in Irish society, and British government policy on Ireland.

The contributors, a mix of academics and activists, write from a number of different, sometimes competing, perspectives on the formation and development of Irish politics, ideology, and society. Their work constitutes a refreshingly skeptical contribution to contemporary debates on modern Irish history, and should interest students of Irish studies, as well as the general reader.
