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. 607 $aIreland$zGalway (County)$2fast 607 $aIreland$2fast 607 $aGalway (Ireland : County)$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aIreland$xHistory$y1922- 608 $aHistory. 610 $aAnglo-Irish Treaty. 610 $aCumann na nGaedheal government. 610 $aGalway agrarian agitation. 610 $aIrish Free State. 610 $aIrish language. 610 $aIrish revolution. 610 $acivil war. 610 $adomestic Irish politics. 610 $adominion status. 610 $aelection campaigns. 610 $aland reform. 610 $apost-revolutionary experience. 610 $apoverty. 610 $asocio-economic realities. 676 $a941.50822 700 $aNewell$b Una$01515722 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798745303321 996 $aThe West must wait$93751703 997 $aUNINA
