Australian Catholics and Conscription in the Great War

Journal of Religious History, October 2002, vol. 26, no. 3, pp.
298-313(16)

Kildea J.

Abstract:

During the Great War the Australian people twice voted to reject
conscription for overseas military service. In the historiography of those
plebiscites it is generally accepted that most Catholics opposed compulsion
because of their Irish and working class backgrounds rather than their
religion. However, in December 1917, members of the Catholic hierarchy and
official church institutions, who had been silent during the first
plebiscite in October 1916, actively campaigned against conscription because
the government?s proposal did not exempt teaching brothers and seminarians.
Although their opposition had nothing to do with theology, its source was
religion rather than ethnicity, class, or national sentiment. This article
examines the bishops? concern, challenging the notion that they used it as a
convenient excuse to abandon their neutrality in order to be re?united
politically with their people, and argues that they did so out of a
legitimate concern for the welfare of their church.

The Military History Society of Ireland has, at last, got itself a web
site...
{http://www.mhsirl.com/}

Early days, but this looks like it will be useful. Not least because it
will list the Contents of The Irish Sword.

I understand that 3 new issues of The Irish Sword are near readiness - one a

'Whitely scripts' and Irish women's racialized belonging(s) in England

European Journal of Cultural Studies, August 2002, vol. 5, no. 3, pp.
257-274(18)

Gray B.[1]

[1] National University of Ireland, Cork

Abstract:

This article investigates the multilocated belonging(s) of Irish women in
England and how these are mediated by what Alison Bailey (1998) calls
'whitely scripts'. The concept of belonging(s) and theoretical approaches to
'whiteness' frame the discussion of gendered Irish migrancy in England.
Belongings are broken down into 'political', 'cultural' and 'ethnic' forms
of membership in late 20th-century England. The article argues that
slippages between inclusion and exclusion, identification and
(dis)identification, constitute Irish women's belongings in England as
gendered, migrant, national and transnational in contradictory ways. In
response to their positioning by a gendered migrant labour market and
postcolonial stereotypes of a feminized culture, some women embrace
masculine discourses of national identity and mobility as a means of
asserting an agentic self. Simultaneously, the adoption of 'whitely scripts'
by some women locates them within the gendered constraints and privileges of
the category 'white women'.

The city in Irish culture
City: analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action, 1 July
2002, vol. 6, no. 2, pp. 219-228(10)

Kiberd D.

Abstract:
This essay considers the city in Irish culture. Irish nationalist discourse
has denounced the city as an English phenomenon, a site of modernity and, as
such, of corruption and immorality. However, it is argued here that those
readings have been over-emphasized and that the rural/urban split seems far
more rooted in British than in Irish culture. A more complex view is being
obscured. This article also looks at Joyce's Dublin, an intimate and
villagey site of emergent modernity and at recent 'localist' literature.
Finally, the possibilities of multi-culturalism as an addition to Irish
culture are discussed.

White E.J.

Abstract:
The article examines modes in which African immigrants in contemporary
Dublin, Ireland are locating themselves, and being located within a society
that views them as a challenge to prior notions of Irish identity. The
author contends that spaces of minoritization are developing within the city
as a means of containing individuals that challenge the myth of homogeneous
Irishness. The article explores the presence of new spaces and identities in
the current period of globalization and the way in which such developments
in Ireland are developing in the context of what the author defines as a
'retro-global' society. Ethnographic data are employed to highlight the new
social landscape of Dublin and present the lived-experiences of members of
the African Diaspora communities.

minorities and diasporic communities in a changing city
City: analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action, 1 July
2002, vol. 6, no. 2, pp. 229-249(21)

Lentin R.

Abstract:
This article begins by positing some theoretical and methodological issues
in relation to 'remapping' Dublin's changing ethnic landscape from the
viewpoint of its racialized 'others'. 'Mapping' here is an attempt to chart
imaginary moments?sketched by racialized members?of the city as human
landscape, ever changing to accommodate and encapsulate their shifting
spatial needs and desires. The article posits 'minority discourse' as a
methodological route and historicizes the racialization of the city through
the transition from the gaze of 'the Jew Bloom', Joyce's Hibernian
metropolitan other, to the postmetropolis gaze of the 'new Dubliners'. The
article argues that no re-mapping project can be undertaken without
considering racial harassment and racialization processes, and juxtaposes
racialized ethnic populations and Ireland's emerging multiculturalism,
based, as I argue, on a degree of disavowal, and, rather than on a 'politics
of recognition', on the more appropriate 'politics of interrogation'. The
article concludes with a reflection on some methodological issues involved
in mapping the city from the viewpoint of its racialized minorities.


Exclusionary protests in urban Ireland
City: analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action, 1 July
2002, vol. 6, no. 2, pp. 193-204(12)

Peillon M.

Abstract:
This article examines those collective protests in urban Ireland that aim at
excluding some categories of people from the local area. Travellers,
drug-users, asylum-seekers, undesirable services such as rehabilitation
clinics or community for mentally ill patients represent the main targets of
actions by local residents. The distinctive feature of exclusionary protests
are analysed in terms of the issues raised, the targets of the action, the
participants and the resources which protestors can mobilize. It is argued
that this kind of collective activity is not adequately understood in terms
of a culturalist reading of the city. Exclusionary protests emerge only in
the context of the social relations which structure city life.

Mortality in the North Dublin Union during the Great Famine

The Economic History Review, August 2002, vol. 55, no. 3, pp.
487-506(20)

Guinnane T.W. [1]; O Grada C.;. [2]

[1] Yale University [2] University College, Dublin

Abstract:

Debate about the adequacy of public action during the Great Irish Famine is
hampered by a lack of detailed information on its impact at local level.
This study addresses the question of local agency with a case study of the
North Dublin Union, which was responsible for administering the Irish poor
law in the northern half of Dublin city. We use workhouse records to study
the Union?s functioning during the famine. High mortality of workhouse
inmates mainly reflected the crisis outside its walls: the guardians and the
managers did reasonably well in preserving human life in difficult
circumstances.

The bride on the border: women and the reproduction of ethnicity in the
early modern British Isles

European Journal of Cultural Studies, August 2002, vol. 5, no. 3, pp.
293-306(14)

Schwyzer P.[1]

[1] University of Exeter

Abstract:

From the medieval era to the present, the foreign bride has been stigmatized
in the literatures of Europe as the bearer of ethnic contamination. While
this practice has been consistent across time, the theories of ethnic
reproduction that purport to justify it have not. This article argues that
this stigmatizing practice does not derive from theoretical beliefs about
ethnicity, but rather from paradoxes inherent in the concept of the ethnic
boundary that must be understood as simultaneously porous and impregnable.
The weird double sense of 'impregnable' highlights both the duality of the
boundary concept and its association with the reproductive bodies of women.
The argument is illustrated with examples drawn from the borderlands of
Ireland and Wales in the 16th century, a period when several competing
theories of ethnic reproduction were in play. The English in this era
claimed ancient Celtic kings as glorious ancestors, while simultaneously
demonizing Welsh and Irish women as carriers of an ethnic taint. The paradox
of the ethnic boundary was resolved by casting male and female bodies in
different, power-laden relations to that boundary. The article concludes by
suggesting that only a radical rethinking of the way ethnic and national
boundaries are imagined can bring an end to the stigmatization of foreign
women as threats to ethnic purity.

Paddy,

Allow me to shed some light on the provenance of the 'No Irish, No
Blacks, No Dogs' image. The original photograph is stored in the Smurfit
Archive
of the Irish in Britain here at London Metropolitan University. It was
acquired by us in 1991 from the Irish in Britain History Group which
established a
community archive in London in the mid 1980s. Although the photograph
came to the IBHG with few source details it was I am assured acquired in
good
faith.

The original curators and myself have had no reason to believe it was
staged or to doubt its authenticity. I hope this helps.

Subject: International writers to visit Linenhall

News Release

Troubled Cities: Writers from Bosnia, Ireland, Palestine, and South Africa

Distinguished writers from Bosnia, Palestine and South Africa to visit
Belfast

An impressive line-up of writers from Bosnia, Ireland, Palestine and South
Africa will participate in two readings and a panel discussion session
entitled "Troubled Cities", at the Linen Hall Library on Thursday 14th and
Friday 15th November. Both readings will take place in the Library's
Northern Room at 8.00pm. A unique and significant event for Belfast,
"Troubled Cities" is organised by Irish Pages and The Linen Hall Library, in
association with Imagine Belfast and the British Council.

The two readings bring together six major writers whose work deals, in part,
with the turmoil in their societies. Zakaria Mohammed and Ghassan Zaqtan,
both from Ramallah, are two of Palestine?s most distinguished poets. Breyten
Breytenbach, a novelist and poet, is the foremost author in Afrikaans, and
was a major figure in the struggle against apartheid, having been imprisoned
for several years. Vojka Djikic, one of Bosnia?s most distinguished poets,
is editor of the journal Sarajevo Notebook and remained in Sarajevo
throughout the siege. Ireland will be represented by our own celebrated
poets, Ciaran Carson and Michael Longley.

Chris Agee, Editor of Irish Pages, has said of the event:
?We are very privileged to have writers of such standing visiting Belfast.
They have much to say to us through their creative work and historical
experience. We expect some fascinating synergies not only in the course of
the readings, but during the panel discussion, whose theme will be the
relations between literature and history, imagination and social actuality."

All of the four visiting writers have expressed a keen interest in Belfast
as a city where a renowned literary tradition has flourished in the midst of
the historical, cultural and social turmoil of the Troubles and the period
following the Belfast Agreement.

The event is yet another coup for the cultural programme of the Linen Hall
Library, one of whose aims is to engage local audiences with the work and
sensibilities of distinguished contemporary writers from across Europe.

For further details contact Carolyn Mathers at The Linen Hall Library on
(028) 90 872211 or Email: c.mathers[at]linehall.com

Notes to Editors:
Thursday 14th November at 8pm;
A reading by Zakaria Mohammed, Vojka Dikic and Michael Longley
introduced by Sarah Maguire
Friday 15th November beginning at 5.30 pm
A wine reception for the visiting writers at 5.30 pm (open to the public)
&
A panel discussion by visiting writers and others at 6.15 pm
with questions from the audience (admission free)

Friday 15th November at 8.00 pm
A reading by Breyten Breytenbach, Ciaran Carson and Ghassan Zaqtan
introduced by Chris Agee

(Tickets at £4 are required for both readings)

Irish Pages, a bi-annual journal of contemporary Irish and international
writing, was launched in May this year with the assistance of Imagine
Belfast. Since then, the journal has achieved considerable critical acclaim
as well as increasing commercial success. All of the visiting writers will
be included in the second issue of Irish Pages, due to appear in late
November. For more information Irish Pages, contact The Editor, Irish Pages,

The Thomas MacGreevy Archive
is delighted to announce a
major upgrade of their digital archive, which published by The Institute for
Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH), and is generously supported by
IATH and Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH)

The Archive is a long-term, interdisciplinary research project committed to
exploring the intersections between traditional humanities research and
digital technologies. The Archive has focused on publishing an on-line
bibliography of writings by and about Thomas MacGreevy (1893-1967), the
Irish poet, art and literary critic, and Director of the National Gallery of
Ireland (1950-63).

To date, over 300 texts, augmented with enhanced search and navigation
features, have been encoded in Standard Generalised Markup Language (SGML).
The Archive represents a unique resource in the field of Irish Studies.
MacGreevy's writings explore a wide variety of themes central to twentieth
century Irish literature and visual arts. He also engaged in many of the
pivotal cultural debates during the early years of the Irish Free State
through his writings in The Irish Statesman, Old Ireland, and The Dublin
Magazine. In the early 1940s he was the Art Critic for The Irish Times, and
from 1941 through the early 1960s a frequent contributor to The Father
Mathew Record and The Capuchin Annual.

The Archive also republishes contemporary criticism about MacGreevy, as well
as reviews of his books. Comments and suggestions about the site are
welcomed. Please send any suggestions to Susan Schreibman at

The Irish Republic ? A ?Showpiece of Globalisation??

POLITICS, September 2002, vol. 22, no. 3, pp. 125-134(10)

Smith N. [1]

[1] University of Birmingham

Abstract:

Once the ?sick man of Europe?, the Irish Republic is now hailed as the
?Celtic Tiger?. Commentators and politicians, both within and outside
Ireland, point to the Republic?s supposedly dazzling economic success as
evidence of how nations can flourish in a globalised world. I question this
notion, suggesting that Ireland?s improved economic performance is best
explained by a combination of factors, which cannot simply be lumped under
the term ?globalisation?. Indeed, they seem directly to contradict many of
the arguments made in the name of globalisation. However, I also contend
that ideas about globalisation may play an increasingly important role in
Irish economic developments.

British Trials of Irish Nationalist Defendants: The Quality of Justice
Strained

Studies in Conflict and Terrorism, 1 July 2002, vol. 25, no. 4, pp.
227-244(18)

Lutz B. J.; Lutz J. M.; Wralstad Ulmschneider G.

Abstract:
In what came to be controversial cases in the 1970s, British courts
convicted individuals involved with IRA bombing campaigns and sent them to
prison. The Guildford Four, Maquire Seven, and Birmingham Six were all
convicted with faulty evidence and/or coerced confessions. Obtaining
convictions for the bombings was important for the British government and
British public opinion, since the guilty persons were caught and punished.
There are few indications, however, that the government as a matter of
policy decided to convict and imprison innocent people in order to mollify
the public and achieve other political objectives. The original convictions
were miscarriages of justice but not government policy. The delay in
rectifying the original convictions, however, displayed more concern about
potential negative effects for the political system if judicial errors were
admitted.

On the Decline of Marriage in Rural Ireland 1851?1911: The Role of
Ecological Constraints and/or Developing Philopatry

Population and Environment, July 2002, vol. 23, no. 6, pp. 525-540(16)

Kent J.P.[1]

[1] University College, Dublin, Ireland. Ballyrichard House, Co. Wicklow,
Ireland; john.kent@ucd.ie

Abstract:

The proportion of people who never married and the age at first marriage
increased in rural Ireland after the famine (1845?1847). In 1851, 11% of the
population were never married at 45?54 years and this percentage increased
steadily over time to 34% for men and 25% for women in 1936. The period from
1851 to 1911 was marked by economic progress, and despite some bad years,
production, incomes and standards of living increased steadily. Ownership of
land, passing from landlord to tenant, thus fixed the population to specific
geographic locations and made the rural population increasingly philopatric.
The Ecological Constraints Hypotheses (E.C.H.). has been used to explain the
low marriage rate. It asserts that delayed dispersal and reproduction are
caused by constraints such as a lack of access to resources such as land or
mates. However in rural Ireland, wealthy heads of households were more
likely to be celibate than occupiers of small holdings. The low nuptiality
that developed after the famine appeared first in the more prosperous parts
of Ireland and was accompanied by a substantial rise in living standards.
The increasingly secure tie after the famine between the rural population
and its geographic location reflected a new ecological situation which
facilitated a change in reproductive strategy that was characterised by
delayed marriage and an increase in celibacy. This strategy is adaptive in a
stable ecology without major threats to survival. The data are consistent
with evidence from animals and human populations showing associations in a
stable ecology between long life expectancy, low population turnover and low
fecundity, yet a rate of reproduction that is sufficient to maintain the
population in its environment.

The ?frog story? narratives of Irish?English bilinguals

Tina Bennett-Kastor
Wichita State University

Abstract

Four bilingual speakers of Irish (Gaelic) and English, two men and two
women, were audiorecorded as they produced narratives based on pictures from
the Mercer Mayer book Frog, where are you? Order of narration was
counterbalanced. The narratives were analyzed according to certain features
of global and local structure originally identified in Berman and Slobin
(1994). Differences within and across narratives emerged in the number of
components included, the number of planning components explicitly marked for
purpose, the marking of tense and aspect, and the use of extended aspectual
categories. These variations were attributed to 1) the order in which the
narrative was told (first-told versus second-told versions), 2) the language
of the narrative (Irish versus English), and 3) the particular preferences
of individual narrators.

After a bit of palaver at the web site it is possible to get access to the
first paragraphs of Tyler's article...

You also get a nice picture...

City.?Irish depositors of the Emigrant Savings Bank withdrawing money to
send to their suffering relatives in the old country." Courtesy of the

Thereafter, money is involved...

As New Yorker Ellen Holland looked back over her first forty-seven years of
life in 1860, she must have wondered whether she was blessed or cursed.
"Nelly" had been born and raised in southwestern Ireland in the County Kerry
parish of Kenmare. There she grew up surrounded by jagged mountain peaks and
lush green hills that sloped dramatically to the wide, majestic Kenmare
River. Nelly and her family were tenants of the marquis of Lansdowne, whose
estate was home to 13,000 of the most impoverished residents of
nineteenth-century Ireland. Visitors to the huge property commonly chose
terms such as "wretched," "miserable," "half naked," and "half fed" to
describe the poor farmers and laborers who dominated its population.
Observers invoked such descriptions of Nelly's birthplace even before
1845, when a mysterious potato blight began to wreak havoc on the meager
food supply. By late 1846, Kenmare residents began to succumb to starvation
and malnutrition-related diseases. As conditions continued to deteriorate in
early 1847, the death toll multiplied. An Englishman who visited the town of
Kenmare at this time wrote that "the sounds of woe and wailing resounded in
the streets throughout the night." In the morning, nine corpses were found
in the village streets. "The poor people came in from the rural districts"
in such numbers, wrote this observer, "it was utterly impossible to meet
their most urgent exigencies, and therefore they came in literally to die."
Tens of thousands fled Ireland in 1847, but almost none of the Lansdowne
tenants could afford to emigrate. Relatively few had journeyed from this
isolated estate to America in the pre-famine years, so they did not receive
the remittances from abroad that financed the voyages of many famine
emigrants leaving other parts of Ireland.

The Irish in Kilburn: myth and reality
Weindling, D.; Colloms, M.
Local Historian, 2002, vol. 32, no. 2, pp. 118-131
BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR LOCAL HISTORY

The Irish in Kilburn: myth and reality
DICK WEINDLING AND MARRIANNE COLLOMS

The authors take as their starting point the conventional views of Irish
migration to England ? and specifically the Kilburn and Hampstead West End
area of London ? in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, noting that
?Irish equals Catholic plus poverty? is the typical stereotype. They show
that for this most famously Irish part of London there was in fact very
little post-Famine migration, despite the stimulus of several important
Catholic religious foundations, and that even the displacement of Irish from
inner London, said to have been a cause of the growth in the Irish
population in the area, provided little increase. While there undoubtedly
were Irish in Kilburn in the early nineteenth century, they were mainly
seasonal agricultural workers, not impoverished refugees.

Instead, Weindling and Colloms argue, the majority of the Irish-born and
Irish-descended people of the area can be traced back to post-1945 influxes,
so that the Irishness is a more recent phenomenon than is usually supposed.
The article employs contemporary descriptions, census data, post-war
autobiographical and narrative accounts, and personal testimony to emphasise
its case. The aim of the article is to provide a corrective to the
stereotypical view and to demonstrate that the detailed analysis of local
circumstances will contradict the sweeping generalisations and popular myths
which make up much of the ?history? of the Irish in England.
