Bonakdarian Mansour - Eirinn & Iran Go Brach Iran In Irish - Nationalist Historical Literary Cultural And Political Imaginations From The Late 18th Century To 1921 - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: This book analyzes particular patterns of nationalist self - configuration and nationalist uses of memory counter - memory and historical amnesia in Ireland from roughly around the time of the emergence of a broad - based non - sectarian Irish nationalist platform in the late eighteenth century (the Society of United Irishmen) until Ireland's partition and the founding of the Irish Free State in 1922. In approaching Irish nationalism through the particular historical lens of Iran this book underscores the fact that Irish nationalism during this period (and even earlier) always utilized a historical paradigm that grounded Anglo - Irish encounters and Irish nationalism in the broader world history a process that I term worlding of Ireland. In effect Irish nationalism was always politically and culturally cosmopolitan in outlook in some formulations even in the case of many nationalists who resorted to insular and narrowly defined exclusionary ethnic and/or religious formulations of the Irish nation. Irish nationalists as nationalists in many other parts of the world recurrently imagined their own history either in contrast to or as reflected in the histories of peoples and lands elsewhere even while claiming the historical uniqueness of the Irish experience. Present in a wide range of Irish nationalist political cultural and historical utterances were assertions of past and/or present affinities with other peoples and lands.
