This book explores Irish participation in the British imperial
project after 'Southern' Ireland's independence in 1922. Building
on a detailed study of the Irish contribution to the policing of
the Palestine Mandate, it examines Irish imperial servants'
twentieth-century transnational careers, and assesses the influence
of their Irish identities on their experience at the colonial
interface. The factors which informed Irish enlistment in
Palestine's police forces are examined, and the impact of Irishness
on the personal perspectives and professional lives of Irish
Palestine policemen is assessed. Irish policing in Palestine is
placed within the broader tradition of the Royal Irish Constabulary
(RIC)-conducted imperial police service inaugurated in the
mid-nineteenth century, and the RIC's transnational influence on
twentieth-century British colonial policing is evaluated. The wider
tradition of Irish imperial service, of which policing formed part,
is then explored, with particular focus on British Colonial Service
recruitment in post-revolutionary Ireland and twentieth-century
Irish-imperial identities.
