Reviews

"... interesting and readable...." --Catholic Library World

"...fine essays on the intersection of Ireland and postcolonial theory." --New Hibernia Review

"...this book offers an extensive survey of the intersection of those two fields and asks from a variety of vantages whether and how Ireland should be considered in light of postcolonial theory." --Virginia Quarterly Review

"The essays in this remarkable compilation all focus on the crucial question of whether or not Ireland was a colony, and whether its history is therefore...a colonial and subsequently a postcolonial one. This is no mere antiquarian or academic squabble, since what is at stake is nothing less than the whole question of Irish identity." --From the Afterword by Edward Said
