The Partition of Ireland: 1918-1925 by Robert Lynch (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Partition of Ireland by Robert Lynch A comprehensive survey of the politics of the partition of Ireland between 1918 and 1925, focusing on how the Irish made sense of the process of partition and how this shaped their identities and the character of the two new states which emerged. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Partition represents the most fundamental revolution in modern Irish history. By 1925 the country had been divided into two states embodying rival religious and political identities, an outcome unthinkable only a decade before. While often analysed through the lens of elite high politics, partition was by definition a mass participation event, where decision making was shaped by elections, propaganda and savage acts of violence in defence of or in opposition to the new settlement. By examining the complex interaction of nationalism, religion and politics, Robert Lynch seeks to understand how partition was constructed and imagined by Irish people themselves, arguing for a relocation of partition at the centre of historical understandings of events in Ireland which spanned the Great War. Lynch highlights the deep confusion and expediency which lay behind the partition plan, and how it failed to provide answers to the complex and enduring problems of Irish identity.

Review A scholarly, detailed and historically-minded analysis of an enduringly central feature of Irish politics. Richard English, Queens University BelfastRobert Lynch has written an insightful and absorbing study of partition. Questions are raised about how we understand the nature of partition, its meaning in modern Irish history, and how it shaped and reshaped the identities of those living with its impact, both north and south. It is a history as relevant today as it was a hundred years ago.
