This book analyzes County Mayo in Ireland from the Elizabethan
pacification of the county to the first stage of the Land War of
the late nineteenth century. During those three centuries the
county was transformed from being a remote, isolated, impoverished
and hostile region of the country to being at the center of Irish
politics and integrated into an agrarian capitalist economy.
The book is divided into two sections. The first contains an
analysis of the county prior to the Great Famine, and provides the
foundation for a core/periphery analysis of Mayo's economic
development and its impact upon popular politics in the county. The
second, employing a core/periphery analysis of the post-Famine
economic and political transformation of the county, demonstrates
that the structural changes that gave rise to the Land War occurred
more rapidly in central Mayo than along its western coastline or
eastern boundaries. This uneven development helps account for both
the initial strength and rapid disintegration of the land movement
in the county.
