This book examines the native Irish experience of conquest and
colonisation in Ulster in the first decades of the seventeenth
century. Central to this argument is that the Ulster plantation
bears more comparisons to European expansion throughout the
Atlantic than (as some historians have argued) the early-modern
state's consolidation of control over its peripheral territories.
Farrell also demonstrates that plantation Ulster did not see any
significant attempt to transform the Irish culturally or
economically in these years, notwithstanding the rhetoric of a
'civilising mission'. Challenging recent scholarship on the
integrative aspects of plantation society, he argues that this
emphasis obscures the antagonism which characterised relations
between native and newcomer until the eve of the 1641 rising. This
book is of interest not only to students of early-modern Ireland
but is also a valuable contribution to the burgeoning field of
Atlantic history and indeed colonial studies in general.
