As Robbie McVeigh and Bill Rolston argue, Ireland's experience is central to understanding the history of colonisation and anti-colonial politics throughout the world. Part history, part analysis, \u003cem\u003eIreland, Colonialism, and the Unfinished Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e charts the centuries of Irish colonial history, from England's proto-imperial engagement with Ireland in 1155 to the Union in 1801, and the subsequent struggles for Irish independence and the legacies of partition from 1921.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA century later, the plate tectonics of Irishness are shifting once again. The Union is in crisis, and alternatives to partition are being seriously considered outside the Republican tradition for the first time in generations. These significant structural changes suggest that the coming times might finally see the completion of the decolonisation project—the finishing of the revolution. In the words of the revolutionary Pádraig Pearse: \u003cem\u003eAnois ar theacht an tSamhraidh\u003c\/em\u003e—now the summer is coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849333002476,"sku":"9781642599848","price":62.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22988603482772.jpg?v=1759041268"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/bill-rolston.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
