1916 in Global Context - An Anti-Imperial Moment

Zusatztext "In this slim anthology, Dal Lago, Healy, and Barry ably take up the dual challenge laid down by the late Keith Jeffery with his pathbreaking 1916: A Global History: to internationalise the study of the Easter Rising, so often treated as a purely domestic affair – as, indeed, the British state insisted it was; and to restore 1916, long neglected in favour of Bolshevik 1917, to its proper place as the revolutionary hinge of twentieth century politics."- Matthew Kovac. University of Oxford, Keble College"1916 in Global Context manages to be both cohesive and comprehensive. It adeptly weaves conflict and cooperation between strands of propaganda, high politics, and violence around the world. Authors forensically show the extent and limit of transnational connections, demonstrating mostly excellent source work and analysis across a gamut of relevant and crisscrossing topics."-William Bullock Jenkins, University of Leipzig & London School of Economics"The nature of this collection, edited by Enrico Dal Lago, Roisin Healy and Gearoid Barry, allows for a more in-depth consideration of the international reverberations of the Rising … From a specifically Irish perspective, it offers a fascinating analysis of the much broader significance of the Easter Rising beyond Ireland"-Marie Coleman, Queen's University Belfast, English Historical Review
