Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Two social scientists critically interpret the construction of Irish national identity in the longer perspective of history. They demonstrate how national identity was invented and codified by a nationalist intelligentsia late in the 19th century, and trace its trajectory as a process of crisis and contradiction. One of their central arguments is that no one has fully explored the negative implications of Irish national identity. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
