This is a compelling account of Protestant loss of power and
self-confidence in Ireland since 1795. David Fitzpatrick charts a
shared awareness of the declining power and influence of the
Protestant community in Ireland and the strategies adopted in the
face of this decline, presenting rich personal testimony that
illustrates how individuals experienced and perceived
'descendancy'. Focusing on the attitudes and strategies adopted by
the eventual losers rather than victors, he addresses contentious
issues in Irish history through an analysis of the growth of the
Orange Order, the Ulster Covenant of 1912, and 'ethnic cleansing'
in the Irish Revolution. Avoiding both apologetics and
sentimentality when probing the psychology of those undergoing
'descendancy', the book examines the social and political
ramifications of religious affiliation and belief as practised in
fraternities, church congregations, and isolated sub-communities.
