The pasts, presents and futures of transnational and global Irish Studies
As with any other discipline, we are periodically drawn towards reviewing the trajectory of Irish Studies, contemplating possible future directions: What is happening now?What should come next?Four scholars at varying stages of their academic careers and located in tertiary institutions in Ireland, USA, and Australia address these questions with specific reference to the transnational or global aspects of Irish Studies, a key focus of this specia…
The Women’s Weapon’
For many female veterans of the Irish revolution (1916–1923), writing about the self was a difficult and even risky venture. In this context, did fiction grant more authorial agency than first-person testimony? This article considers the testimonial fiction of three female revolutionaries that addresses the practice of hunger striking: Dorothy Macardle’s short story ‘The Prisoner’ (1924), Máiréad Ní Ghráda’s play Stailc Ocrais [Hunger Strike] (19…
‘Sinn Féin permits … in the heels of their shoes’
The emigration of female revolutionary activists has largely eluded historical studies; their global movements transcend dominant national and regional conceptions of the Irish Revolution and challenge established narratives of political exile which are often cast in masculine terms. Drawing on Cumann na mBan nominal rolls and U.S. immigration records, this article investigates the scale of post-Civil War Cumann na mBan emigration and evaluates t…

Dams and indigenous peoples in malaysia
Large dams have proliferated in Malaysia in recent decades. Constructed mainly to meet mounting domestic demand for water and energy, they have destroyed large tracts of species‐rich tropical rain forest and displaced many already poor and marginalized indigenous groups from their homes and ancestral lands without their consent. Evicted indigenes were promised a better life in resettlement villages, but for the most part this has not occurred. In…
In the Way of Development
The Malaysian government regards the country's indigenous peoples as "backward" and in need of "modernization." It aims to assimilate them into the so‐called mainstream society and to incorporate their lands and resources into national and global markets. These policy objectives leave little scope for indigenous groups to pursue their own life projects. Indigenous communities want to share in the benefits of economic development, but they are not…
Seeking Redress in the Courts
Malaysia's indigenous peoples continue to suffer numerous grievous injustices, including appropriation of their ancestral lands and socio-economic deprivation. In large part because their voices of resistance to development policies have gone unheard by the authorities, a growing number of individuals and communities have taken their grievances to the nation's courts. In particular, they have pleaded for judicial intervention to address alleged b…
Runaway Fires, Smoke-Haze Pollution, and Unnatural Disasters in Indonesia
Fires on Sumatra and Kalimantan have taken a heavy toll on Indonesia' remaining tropical forests. Drought exacerbates the fire hazard, but it does not cause the fires, most of which have been the result of inappropriate land‐use policies and practices. Peatland fires have emitted vast quantities of smoke that periodically blanket large parts of insular Southeast Asia, impairing visibility, disrupting travel, hampering economic activity, and posin…
Vanishing Rain Forests
Malaysia is one of the world's most biologically diverse regions, but in recent years vast tracts of its forests have been cleared or degraded, with serious human and environmental consequences. Vanishing Rain Forests explores four closely related themes: first, it describes the country's forests and the remarkable abundance and diversity of their flora and fauna; secondly, it outlines the processes and policies by which human activity has altere…

Early Penang Hill Station
Penang Hill is one of the hill stations that originated in the upland tropics during the colonial era. Functional composition and landscape characteristics of Penang Hill during the early nineteenth century are described in the context of contemporary medical concepts, perceived health hazards, leisure pursuits, and cultural transfers. Penang Hill increasingly resembled an ideal model of TROPICAL hill stations were functionally specialized outpos…

Malaysia's Emerging Conurbation∗
By 1990 a conurbation will have emerged in the Klang Valley of Peninsular Malaysia with a probable population of more than two million people. Rapid urban growth has already generated physical and social problems. Soil erosion and flooding have increased, and health problems have been created. The persistence of slums and squatter settlements detracts from the quality of urban life. Key Words: ErosionFloodingHealthHousingKlang ValleyMalaysiaUrban…
