In Race in Modern Irish Literature and Culture, John Brannigan argues that race and racism have longer histories in the Irish state, histories which have often been exposed and critiqued by Irish writers and artists. He revisits the role of racial ideologies in the foundation and development of the state, offering original historical insights, and inspired new readings of literary and cultural works ranging from Ulysses to The Commitments. Key Features Provides new research on the social history of racial ideologies and racist expressions in the Irish state since 1922 Offers new readings of Irish cultural productions and literary texts (by James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Samuel Beckett, Liam O'Flaherty, Kate O'Brien, Edna O'Brien, Brendan Behan, James Plunkett, Paul Durcan, Austin Clarke, Aidan Higgins, Denis Johnston, and others) emphasising how they engage with the histories of Irish racism and raciology Demonstrates how a new understanding of the constitutive role of race and racism in modern Irish culture might necessitate a revision of the dominant precepts and trends in contemporary Irish studies Addresses the significance of the social and cultural history of race and racism in twentieth-century Ireland for the post-'Celtic Tiger' era OP - 246 CN - PR8722.R24 B73 2009eb SN - 9780748640959 SN - 0748640959 SN - 9780748651801 SN - 0748651802 SN - 9786612703119 SN - 6612703113 SN - 1282703110 SN - 9781282703117 SN - 9780748638833 SN - 0748638830 KW - English literature : Irish authors : History and criticism.
