This book explores the experience of small farmers, labourers and
graziers in provincial Ireland from the immediacy of the Famine
until the eve of World War One. During this period of immense
social and political change, they came to grips with the processes
of modernisation. By focusing upon east Galway, it argues that they
were not an inarticulate mass, but rather, they were sophisticated
and politically aware in their own right. This study relies upon a
wide array of sources which have been utilised to give as authentic
a voice to the lower classes as possible. Their experiences have
been largely unrecorded and this book redresses this imbalance in
historiography while adding a new nuanced understanding of the
complexities of class relations in provincial Ireland. This book
argues that the actions of the rural working class and nationalists
has not been fully understood, supporting E.P. Thompson's argument
that 'their aspirations were valid in terms of their own
experiences'.
