Rural Siting Conflicts in Ireland, 1990–1999

This note documents changes in the Irish environmental movement during the 1990s. It provides basic data confirming the continued existence of an environmental movement in rural Ireland and illustrating how this movement has widened and deepened during the 1990s, with opposition spreading from what had been a narrow niche of activities during the 1980s—chemical factories, mines and toxic dumping—to a much wider range of activities.

Fenianism in North America in the 1860s: The Problems for Church and State

Irish Catholic immigrants in North America provided, on the surface, a potentially powerful source of support for the revolutionary designs of the Fenian movement in Ireland. The Catholic bishops, encouraged by their colleagues in Ireland, especially Paul Cullen, the archbishop of Dublin, resisted Fenian strategies in the new world by declaring that the Fenian organization was condemned by the church as a secret society. The bishops' task was complicated by the circumstances of the American Civil War in that the Fenians recruited to their ranks from among the Irish enlisted soldiers. With anti‐English sentiment running high in the northern states, the Union authorities were inclined to turn a blind eye to Fenian machinations both during and after the war. Although the bishops had been anxious in 1865 to have the backing of Rome for their anti‐Fenian stance, their post‐bellum position was more cautious and they, for the most part, opposed the papal condemnation of Fenianism in 1870, a condemnation issued at the behest of the Irish bishops. The church in America and Canada laboured under various disadvantages, mostly of an anti‐Catholic nature, which hampered its ability to deal resolutely with the Irish nationalist discontent in its midst. Ultimately, however, the disintegration of the Fenian movement in North America had more to do with its own internal incoherence than any external pressure.

“A Star Chamber of the Twentieth Century”: Suffragettes, Liberals, and the 1908 “Rush the Commons” Case

The suffragette in the dock at Bow Street police court is one of the emblematic scenes of the “votes for women” agitation. She usually stood alone in the prisoners' box, facing the magistrate, flanked by tables lined with lawyers and police officials and backed by benches full of friends and supporters, newspaper reporters, and ordinary spectators. Notwithstanding the state's claims of legal equality and judicial impartiality, she seemed to be engaged in an unequal contest speaking truth to unbending masculine authority. She was powerless to alter the outcome, a guilty verdict and a spell of imprisonment. This scene, like those of the protester arrested in the streets and the hunger striker being forcibly fed in prison, underlines the spectacular nature of suffrage militancy. Yet its very power to seize and hold our attention can obscure the complex interactions and effects that made militancy such a profoundly ambiguous moment in the intertwined histories of the women's suffrage movement and the Liberal-ruled Edwardian state.Recent research has displaced the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) from its once central place in suffrage history. Jill Liddington, Jill Norris, and Jo Vellacott have recovered the very important contributions of radical and democratic feminists to the movement. In recounting the efforts of moderate women's suffragists, Claire Hirshfield, Leslie Parker Hume, and others have helped to paint a much more complex picture of the high politics of franchise reform. Historians have also begun to examine the distinct experiences of the movement in Ireland and Scotland.

Terror and tolerance: The use of ballots, bombs and bullets by ethnoregional movements in advanced industrial democracies

This article presents a structural account for the variation in the forms and extent of violence employed by ethnoregional movements in Western democracies by examining the variation in the use of violent tactics by ethnoregional movements in Scotland, Catalonia, Quebec, Euskadi and Northern Ireland. The differences among the cases are explained by state reinforcement of ethnic political identities usually through repression, a party system that resists rather than absorbs political change, and blocked opportunities for political mobility among ethnic movement radicals. These in turn are dependent upon the historical conditions that define state strategies for expanding their own authority.

’Sure, it's hard to keep up with the splits here‘1: Irish‐American responses to the outbreak of conflict in Northern Ireland 1968–1974

Abstract This article examines Irish‐American responses to the conflict in Northern Ireland from the outbreak of the conflict in 1968 until the early 1970s. It focuses on developments in Boston, the most ‘Irish’ of large American cities. It details the slow growth of political activism on the Northern Ireland issue in the city and examines the extent of mobilisation and the form which it took. It examines the early Irish civil rights support groups in the US and the circumstances in which they disintegrated. It examines the importance of immigrant activists and of Irish‐American indifference to ‘civil rights’. It looks then at the process by which Noraid, a support group for the Provisional Republican movement in Ireland, came to dominate Irish‐American responses to Northern Ireland in the early 1970s.

ENVIRONMENTALISM IN IRELAND: TWO VERSIONS OF DEVELOPMENT AND MODERNITY

The paper proposes a conflict interpretation of environmentalism, seeing it as a vehicle through which the cultural politics of Irish development are reproduced and enacted. Contrasting two environmental movements in Ireland, one based around established conservation organisations and a developing environmental `knowledge elite', the other located within populist movements for rural community development, the author argues that these articulate opposed understandings of recent Irish history: as a process of cultural modernisation or as one of peripheral (under)development. The two movements are also characterised by very different attitudes to the part played in environmental matters by the Irish state. The paper ends by discussing how recent intervention into environmental management by the state itself may ironically be providing the ground on which some dialogue between the two movements is becoming possible.

Mainie Jellett and the modern movement in Ireland

Jellett and the Modern Movement in Ireland examines one of Ireland's most highly respected 20th-century exponents of Irish art. The book is being published to coincide with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, which runs from 9th December 1991 to 28th February 1992. Virtually unknown outside her own country, Mainie Jellett created a modern movement based on Cubist Abstraction which revolutionised art in Ireland. She gathered round her a school of like-minded artists, and turned them into a powerful influence on painting, design and thought; she established a regular annual art exhibition for the showing of modern paintings and sculpture, and she developed a vital and positive attitude in the country towards art during a period of isolation, difficulty and political torpor. Jellett came from the school of Cubist Abstraction which was led in France by Albert Gleizes and which is still only partly understood and appreciated. In contrast with the slow development of abstract painting in Britain, she regularly exhibited and sold abstract works in Dublin for ten years before the same kind of work was shown in London. Bruce Arnold's examination of the work of Mainie Jellett raises questions about 20th-century painting, about the roots of abstraction, and about misconceptions over the history and later development of Cubism. He offers insights into Albert Gleizes and his followers which will undoubtedly provoke further debate and research.

The Roman Catholic Church and the Home Rule Movement in Ireland, 1870-1874

In this, his sixth book on the Roman Catholic church in Ireland, Larkin focuses on the church's role in the first stage of the emergence of the modern Irish political system. This system depended upon the convergence of three crucial elements -- the leader, the party, and the Irish bishops as a body -- and in the 1870s, these elements began to coalesce. The refusal of the bishops to come to terms with the Home Rule movement was fortunate; otherwise their dominance would have altered the shape of Irish politics. Originally published in 1990.
