Follows a group of people exiled from Ireland after a failed
rebellion and the role they had in the building of new nations and
states This book is about the Young Irelanders, a group of Irish
nationalists in the mid-nineteenth century, who were responsible
for a failed rebellion in Ireland during the Great Famine, who once
exiled from Ireland, came to play formative roles in the fledgling
democracies of Australia, Canada, and the United States.
Christopher Morash illustrates how the Young Ireland generation
developed particular philosophies of nationalism, democracy,
citizenship, and minority rights in Ireland, which became an
integral part of how they engaged with their adopted nations, where
they came to occupy significant political and cultural roles.
Christopher Morash explores the stories and political trajectories
of an acting-Governor of the Territory of Montana and Union Army
General, a Confederate newspaper owner, a Premier of Victoria, and
many other important figures. Despite their divergent trajectories,
these individuals applied many of the same ideas that they had
developed during their original Irish political project to their
respective nations and movements. Young Ireland is a vital new
perspective in the field of Irish diaspora studies, highlighting
the impact the Young Ireland generation had on emerging democracies
and international debates, both in spite of and because of their
defeat and dispersion.
