This book examines Protestant loss of power and self-confidence in
Ireland since 1795. David Fitzpatrick charts 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
appeal 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.
