Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive analysis of how Sinn Féin has transformed itself from ‘political wing’ of the Republican movement to a mainstream force in Irish politics. In this book by one of Ireland’s leading political journalists, Deaglán de Bréadún provides an incisive account of how the party has arrived at a position, in the space of one generation, where it is in power north of the border and knocking on the door of government in the south. Despite recent controversies and scandals arising from alleged sexual abuse by republican activists, and the violent legacies of the Troubles, the party has maintained its popularity. The outsiders have now become insiders in the political game. How did this dramatic transformation come about? Based on detailed research as well as interviews with a wide range of figures inside Sinn Féin and across the Irish political spectrum, Deaglán de Bréadún unveils a fascinating and indispensable analysis of a party that has come in from the cold. The book also draws on the author’s experiences covering the Northern Ireland peace process as well as politics in the Republic for many years, to reveal the most fascinating and unmissable political story of 2015.
Book Synopsis The New Politics of Sinn Féin by : Kevin Bean
Download or read book The New Politics of Sinn Féin written by Kevin Bean and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sinn Féin (“ourselves” or “we ourselves”) began innocuously enough, at least in etymology, when founder Arthur Griffith asked the publishers of an Oldcastle paper if he might use their name for a new political party that he was setting up. Since that 1905 founding, however, and through its journey from revolutionary movement to potential political partner in the state it was pledged to destroy, the modern political meaning of Sinn Féin reflects a contradictory and tension-heavy history of Irish republicanism. The New Politics of Sinn Féin is a powerful and revealing assessment of the ideological and organizational development of provisional republicanism since 1985. The first half of the volume chronicles the processes of change that transformed the republican movement from its revolutionary origins to its current role as a civic and legislative power, while the second half explores the ideological implications of this transition. Arguing that the political movement remains a site of contestation between elements of the universal and the particular, Kevin Bean looks especially to the tensions between civic and ethnic conceptions of identity and the nation as a way to define Sinn Féin in its current incarnation—making this an essential volume for anyone concerned with the contemporary state of Irish politics.
Book Synopsis In the shadow of history by : Agnès Maillot
Download or read book In the shadow of history written by Agnès Maillot and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1926 onward, Sinn Féin, which had been instrumental in the revolutionary period of 1919–23, faded into oblivion. This book unravels a chapter of history that has not been dealt with in detail until now, although the operation of the party raises fundamental questions on issues such as democracy and the role of history in the construction of a national narrative. Through a close analysis of newspaper reports, fortnightly Standing committee minutes, and interviews carried out by the author, it looks at the manner in which the party operated and put itself forward as the guardian of Republicanism in Ireland. The book offers a valuable insight into the meaning of Republicanism, and its narrative represents an integral part of the political and social fabric of contemporary Irish society, which will be of relevance to academics and to all readers with an interest in Irish republicanism.

Book Synopsis 'The Age-Old Struggle' by : Jack Hepworth
Download or read book 'The Age-Old Struggle' written by Jack Hepworth and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a wide-ranging analysis of the internal dynamics of Irish republicanism between the outbreak of ‘the Troubles’ in 1969 and the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Engaging a vast array of hitherto unused primary sources alongside original and re-used oral history interviews, ‘The Age-Old Struggle’ draws upon the words and writings of more than 250 Irish republicans. This book scrutinises the movement's historical and contemporary complexity, the variety of influences within Irish republicanism, and divergent republican responses at pivotal moments in the conflict. Yet it also assesses the centripetal forces which connected republican organisations through decades of struggle. Across five thematic chapters, ‘The Age-Old Struggle’ offers new insights into republicanism’s multi-layered interactions with the global ’68, tactical and strategic change, revolutionary socialism, feminism, and religion. Drawing on political periodicals, ephemera, and interviews with activists throughout the ranks of several republican groups, the book roots its analysis in republicanism’s temporal and spatial complexity. It contends that the cultural significance of place, interactions with class and revolutionary politics, and shifting intra-movement networks are essential to understanding the movement’s dynamics since 1969.

Download or read book The Long March written by M. Frampton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sinn Féin has undergone a startling transformation in the last two-and-a-half decades. Under the leadership of its two principal figures Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness the mainstream party of Irish republicanism has changed beyond almost all recognition. It has moved from the margins of political life, on both sides of the Irish border, to a position where it occupies the Deputy First Minister's chair in Northern Ireland and was viewed, until recently, as the coming force in southern Irish politics. In this book, the contours of Sinn Féin's recent evolution are considered, with particular emphasis on the various strategic objectives that the party has set itself. Sinn Féin's attitude to the Northern Irish peace process is considered at length here and the book challenges the 'conventional wisdom' that would juxtapose republican 'politics' and republican 'war' the notion being that, during the 1990s, republicans exchanged the latter for the former and were, therefore, 'tamed' into becoming a 'normal' political party. The central argument here is that such a view rests on a false dichotomy. It has been said that 'war is merely the continuation of politics'; with respect to Sinn Féin, it is argued, the inverse formulation needs also to be considered, with republican politics seen, by republicans themselves, as an extension of the war. In following through this line of argument, this book attempts to consider republicans on their own terms; to take their thoughts and words 'seriously' and to examine their recent history accordingly.
Book Synopsis The Sinn Fein Rebellion by : Hamilton Norway
Download or read book The Sinn Fein Rebellion written by Hamilton Norway and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-17 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sinn Fein Rebellion As I Saw It Mrs. Hamilton Norway Wife of the Secretary for the Post Office in Ireland For these letters I claim no literary merit: they were written during a period of extraordinary strain for family perusal only, and are a faithful record hour by hour of the Sinn Fein rebellion as I saw it. The wide interest the letters excited in the family circle and the little that seems to be known of a period of such intense interest is my reason for offering them to a wider public. Sinn Fein is the name of the Irish political party founded in 1905 by Arthur Griffith. Sinn Fein provided a focus for Irish nationalism and Irish Republicanism in its various forms. Consequently, it encompassed political philosophies from the left and right, republican and monarchist, theocrats and atheists. Its break-up during the Irish Civil War in 1922 has had a dramatic effect on politics in Ireland to this day.
Book Synopsis The New Politics of Sinn Fein, 1985-2006 by : Kevin Bean
Download or read book The New Politics of Sinn Fein, 1985-2006 written by Kevin Bean and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looks at how far the politics of the Provisional Republican movement in Northern Ireland underwent a fundamental transformation from the mid-1980s onwards. In explaining how and why this occurred, the focus is on the development of certain ideological themes, such as community and identity politics. The discussion places this development in a wider context by considering whether the Provisional movement now acts as a pseudo-state within the nationalist community in Northern Ireland and how these political and ideological processes reflect broader shifts in the pattern of politics, both within Northern Ireland and internationally. The book contains an extensive range of interviews with republican activists and leaders at all levels, former prisoners, community activists, British officials and politicians, and leading Unionists who have been involved with the negotiations with Sinn Fein. One of the central themes is the developing relationship between the state and former radical challengers to its authority. The book argues that the British government's social and economic strategy of community development from the 1970s onwards consciously strengthened the Provisionals as de facto partners in governance initially at local and, later, the wider communal level after 1998. Consideration is given to the impact that the events of September 11, 2001, and the continuing 'war on terrorism' have had on the range of military-political strategies available to the Provisionals. The author concludes that the changed international political imperatives of governments and populations seem now to define the limited political space open to the Provisionals. ~
Book Synopsis Sinn Féin by : Charles River Editors
Download or read book Sinn Féin written by Charles River Editors and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures From Gaelic, the words Sinn Féin translate loosely into English as "We Ourselves," or "Ourselves Alone." The implications of this are that Ireland, historically subject to the political domination of England, could look to none but itself for liberation. The saga of English predominance in Ireland began in the 12th century following the Norman invasion of England, when a band of Norman adventurers, established on the Welsh mainland, set off across the Irish Sea to test their prospects on the shores of England's western neighbor. Ireland at the time was ruled in provinces by local kings, each with limited power and authority, and often at war with one another. The incoming Normans did not attempt any direct control over the country, and in due course they assimilated with the Irish. Nonetheless, by this means, England gained a foothold in the southeast of the island which was later reinforced in 1171 when the English King Henry II, utilizing intrigues among local rulers, brought over a large army which made landfall in County Wexford. Although for centuries English justification remained confined to Dublin and its surroundings, a region known as the "Pale," the English were in Ireland, and there, in one form or another, they would remain into the modern era. It was not until the 16th century, however, with the establishment in England of the Tudor Dynasty that the English Crown was able to assert control over the entire landmass of Ireland. Thereafter, English rule was exercised through a governor, or a viceroy, with the seat of power established at Dublin Castle. Dublin, of course, quickly became the most important city on the island, from where the civil service, judiciary, military, and the police were controlled. Ireland was in practical terms an English dependency, with English interest predominant, and the Irish consigned to the status of a subject race. The belief took root in Irish political society that complete independence from Westminster would ultimately only be possible through force and violence, and by definition the movements dedicated to achieving this were underground. The "United Irishmen" was one of these, another was the "Young Irelanders," and another was the "Fenians," all of which either plotted to rebel or did rise up in open rebellion. In every case, however, calls for a general rebellion always failed, and the fight was brought to the British only by a handful of radicals with no chance whatsoever of forcefully usurping the control of the greatest empire known to man. Thereafter, a plethora of largely dissociated groups and organizations, each acting individually, took up the fight for Irish independence. This was an age of activism, with the distribution of the printed words, and a flourish of nationalist newspapers and publications, and an emphasis, not only in Ireland, but throughout Europe, of ideas of nationalism, the rediscovery of subject languages and cultures, and a general awareness of the revolutionary message. From out of this melee of conflicting voices, and an increasingly robust Irish revolutionary movement came a voice of peculiar authority. Arthur Joseph Griffiths, a twenty-nine year old journalist, member of the "Irish Republican Brotherhood" and founder of the influential nationalist newspaper the United Irishman, began, through a series of editorials, to articulate a policy of Irish nationalism based on the mobilization of Irish resources, a rediscovery of Irish history and culture and in general an illumination of home-grown Irish capabilities. In May 1900, he published a groundbreaking article that called for the establishment of an umbrella organization under which all of the various nationalist organizations could be brought together. This is generally regarded as the call to action that established the modern Irish republican movement.
