The Republic of Ireland has changed much in the last few decades.
It has become much more socially liberal, urban, secular and
wealthy. It has also experienced large-scale immigration during a
period when other Anglophone and many other European countries
mainstream political parties have witnessed the exploitation of
anti-immigrant nativism by some political mainstream parties as
well as by the far right. Diverse Republic examines, as part of a
wider focus on how immigration has changed Irish society, the
emergence of antiimmigrant far-right groups through a focus on some
key figures within these. It also considers the response of
mainstream politics to immigration and examines efforts to
encourage the integration of newcomers. The first part of the book
examines how Irish society and identity has changed since the
foundation of the state. This is relevant to the second part, which
examines how and to what extent far right anti-immigration politics
are likely to flourish or not in the Irish case. The second part of
the book examines the appeal of far-right political responses to
immigration in a context where some Irish citizens no longer appear
to be represented by the political mainstream and where nativist
populists lay claim to the symbols and heroes of the Republic.
Diverse Republic makes the case for proactive measures to promote
immigrant integration and social cohesion through citizenship,
social policy and community development. It engages with shifting
nationalist understandings of Irishness and makes the case for
taking these seriously even if anti-immigrant nativist nationalism
has found only fringe support in Irish politics to date. The
symbols and history of what has become a diverse Republic should
not become the property of those who would exclude some of its
citizens.
