Some Irish considered themselves loyal subjects and proud participants in the imperial enterprise, but others drew sharp analogies between the crown's ongoing conquests of distant lands and its centuries-old oppression of their homeland. The Irish were aware of how the British army had brutally suppressed Afghans, Egyptians, Zulus, and Boers-and how returning troops were then redeployed to quash dissent in Ireland. In Irish eyes, misrule by British officials and absentee landlords mirrored imperial oppression across the globe.Paul Townend shows that a growing critique of British imperialism shaped a rapidly evolving Irish political consciousness and was a crucial factor giving momentum to the Home Rule and Land League campaigns. Examining newspaper accounts, the rich political cartoons of the era, and the rhetoric and actions of Irish nationalists, he argues that anti-imperialism was a far more important factor in the formation of the independence movement than has been previously recognized in historical scholarship. 410 0$aHistory of Ireland and the Irish diaspora. 606 $aHome rule$zIreland 606 $aNationalism$zIreland 606 $aAnti-imperialist movements$zIreland 607 $aIreland$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aIreland$xPolitics and government$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHome rule 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aAnti-imperialist movements 676 $a320.540941509/034 700 $aTownend$b Paul A.$f1967-$01246522 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150254703321 996 $aThe Road to Home Rule$92890211 997 $aUNINA
