Introduction: A global history of the Irish Revolution
How might the history of Ireland's revolution be reassessed if viewed within a transnational, comparative or global framework? Drawing attention to recent writing on the subject, this introduction considers the conceptual and historiographical issues at stake in reframing the history of the Irish Revolution, as well as considering potential limitations to these approaches. We assess what topics in particular lend themselves to a fresh perspective…
Ireland's Great Famine and Popular Politics
Placing Postwar Irish Migration to Britain in a Comparative European Perspective, 1945–1981 1
This chapter focuses on Irish migration in the postwar period within the broader framework of European migration patterns and trends. The analysis for the most part will be concerned with the period from the end of the Second World War in 1945 until 1981, although some comment on more recent trends will be incorporated where appropriate. Return migration from Britain was not altogether unusual even in the immediate postwar period. The comparative…
Migration and Diaspora
Modern Irish history was profoundly shaped by the movement of people, primarily out of Ireland to other societies but also by those who settled on the island. This chapter considers the effect of mass migration on modern Ireland since 1600, paying attention to immigration as well as emigration, but with a heavy emphasis on movement out of Ireland, especially from the late eighteenth century onwards. It stresses the inherent diversity of the Irish…
Directions in historiography: Our island story? Towards a transnational history of late modern Ireland
The besetting sin of all historical writing is myopia. Large as well as small nations suffer equally from the disheartening insularity of rarely looking beyond the borders of the nation state as geographical borders mutate into mental, cultural and historiographical ones. Myopia's close relative is the unshakeable doctrine of exceptionalism: the assumption that each nation's history is, by definition, sui generis . National histories written in t…
Cultures of Adjustment
This chapter examines the processes of adjustment and adaptation of Irish migrants. It shows that during the post-war period, British society was transformed as traditional sources of moral authority declined and well-established norms concerning sexuality, gender roles, the role of youth, individual rights, and freedoms were effectively undermined, most obviously in the 1960s as the ‘permissive’ society slowly came into being. These changes had …
A Sense of Self
In a Strange Land 1
This chapter charts the initial responses of the migrating Irish to the new environment as well as the ambiguous position of the Irish within the broader social landscape of post-war Britain. Few Irish migrants possessed illusions of Britain as an El Dorado. Preconceptions were formed well in advance of leaving home. It was most certainly not seen as the promised land of biblical imagery, and expectations of life in this ‘strange land’ were invar…
Leaving Home
People and Places
This chapter discusses where the Irish settled and how they coped with everyday life in Britain. The constant stream of arrivals since the mid-1930s nearly doubled London's Irish population in twenty years. In 1951, with a total of 111,671 people in the administrative county of London, the Irish were the largest single group of people born in any foreign or Commonwealth country, in Scotland or Wales, or in any other county in England and Wales, w…
The Irish in Post-War Britain
Exploring the neglected history of Britain's largest migrant population, this book looks at the Irish in Britain after 1945. It reconstructs the histories of the lost generation who left independent Ireland in huge numbers to settle in Britain from the 1940s until the 1960s. It illustrates the complex process of negotiation and renegotiation that was involved in adapting and adjusting to life in Britain. Less visible than other newcomers, it is w…

Irish Migration, Networks and Ethnic Identities Since 1750: An Introduction
Transnationalism, Networks and Emigration from Post-War Ireland
Transnationalism is one of the widely-used concepts in the study of contemporary migrations. This article assesses the value of a transnational approach to the study of post-war Irish migration, when over a million people left Ireland, the vast majority travelling to Great Britain. The principal conclusion is that informal personal networks transcended the borders of the nation state and the Irish in Britain existed in a transnational social spac…
Political Catholicism in Post-War Ireland: The Revd Denis Fahey and Maria Duce , 1945–54
In the mid-1940s a Catholic lay organisation, Maria Duce , emerged in Ireland which vigorously promulgated the idiosyncratic writings of Revd Denis Fahey, a Holy Ghost priest. Amongst other activities, Maria Duce campaigned in the late 1940s for an amendment of the Irish constitution of 1937 by which the Roman Catholic Church would be recognised as the ‘one true Church’ rather than the ‘special position’ enshrined in article 44 of the constitutio…
