It extends the regional historical debate beyond the Irish revolution and raises a series of challenging questions about post-civil war society in Ireland.Through a detailed examination of key local themes - land, poverty, politics, emigration, the status of the Irish language, the influence of radical republicans and the authority of the Catholic Church - it offers a probing analysis of the socio-political realities of life in the new state.This book opens up a new dimension by providing a rural contrast to the Dublin-centred views of Irish politics. Significantly, it reveals the level of deprivation in local Free State society with which the government had to confront in the west. Rigorously researched, it explores the disconnect between the perceptions of what independence would deliver and what was achieved by the incumbent Cumann na nGaedheal administration.IrelandGalway (County)fastIrelandfastGalway (Ireland : County)History20th centuryIrelandHistory1922-History.Anglo-Irish Treaty.Cumann na nGaedheal government.Galway agrarian agitation.Irish Free State.Irish language.Irish revolution.civil war.domestic Irish politics.dominion status.election campaigns.land reform.post-revolutionary experience.poverty.socio-economic realities.941.50822Newell Una1809183MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910974250003321The West must wait4359843UNINA
