Description
Unfinished Business: The Politics of 'Dissident' Irish Republicanism by Marisa McGlinchey This book explores the development of 'dissident' Irish republicanism since the 1980s, examining its impact on politics in Ireland. Through interviews with over ninety radical republican activists from various groups, McGlinchey provides a nuanced assessment of the political significance and potential of these opposing forces. The 'dissidents' are often seen as traditionalist irreconcilables, but McGlinchey argues that their dynamics and trajectory are shaped more by contemporary forces than historical tradition. By understanding the 'dissidents', readers can gain insight into emerging forms of political challenge in an age of austerity and increasing instability. This book offers a fresh perspective on a complex and often misunderstood topic, shedding light on the complexities of Irish politics and the ongoing struggle for identity and power.
