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…
There But For The Grace of God Go I’: Middle-Class Catholic Responses to Ireland’s Great Famine
Over the course of the nineteenth century, the Irish Catholic middle class became more powerful in both political and economic terms. It was this group that became the backbone of Irish nationalism as it emerged in the 1870s and 1880s. But how did the Catholic middle classes respond to what was the greatest disaster in Irish history, Ireland’s Great Famine of the 1840s? This article offers an account, based on a wide range of evidence, of the res…
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…
Atlas of the Great Irish Famine
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…
Promouvoir la fédération: La Cour suprême des Etats-Unis au cours des années 1780
Lors de la naissance des Etats-Unis, la Cour Suprême a dû faire face à une mise en cause répétée de sa légitimité tant par la " voie verticale", c'est-à-dire par les cours et les législations des Etats, que par la "voie horizontale", c'est-à-dire par le Président et le Congrès. Cet article examine les différentes méthodes utilisées par la Cour Suprême pour asseoir sa propre légitimité. Ce cas met en lumière les difficultés que rencontrent aujourd…
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…
The slow failure: Population decline and independent Ireland, 1922-73 - By Mary E. Daly
The Irish Diaspora
Introduction: Europe's constitutional future – Federal lessons for the European Union
The workshop was part of a series organized for the CONVEU-30 [From the Convention to the IGC: Mapping Cross-National Views towards an EU-30] network of European institutes, coordinated by Dr Andreas Maurer and funded by the European Commission. We are grateful to Andreas for his support and to the Commission and to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for the funding that made the project possible. Notes 1A prime example is Alan Milward, who insi…
Managing in a federal system without an ‘ultimate arbiter’: Kompetenz-Kompetenz in the EU and the ante-bellum United States
Although an ‘ultimate arbiter’ is generally accepted as a necessary element of a federation, emerging federal systems are often unable to agree on who should play the role. Legally, the debate surrounds the right to monitor the limits of federal and state competences – or the right to Kompetenz-Kompetenz. This article looks at how the early United States and the European Union managed without an ultimate arbiter and assesses the differing priorit…
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…
The Promotion of 'Symmetrical' European Citizenship: A Federal Perspective
This paper contributes to the ongoing debate about symmetrical citizenship at the European level by searching out new areas for consideration, in particular the judicial politics of European citizenship. Using a federal comparative perspective, it sheds light on the potential role the European Court of Justice (ECJ) could play in promoting symmetrical citizenship through the comparison with the experience of the early United States and of its Sup…
Irish Migration to Britain, 1939–1945
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…

State, politics and demography: The case of Irish emigration, 1921–71 1
Emigration is a central feature of the economic, political and social history of independent Ireland and numerous econometric analyses of Irish emigration have investigated both the reasons for and the impact of this movement of population out of Ireland. However, even though the state and political response to Irish emigration is of particular interest, little work has been done on this subject. The aims of this article are to highlight the vari…
