Download or read book Edmund Burke and the Conservative Logic of Empire written by Daniel O'Neill and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Burke, long considered modern conservatismÕs founding father, is also widely believed to be an opponent of empire. However, Daniel OÕNeill turns that latter belief on its head. This fresh and innovative book shows that Burke was a passionate supporter and staunch defender of the British Empire in the eighteenth century, whether in the New World, India, or Ireland.Ê MoreoverÑand against a growing body of contemporary scholarship that rejects the very notion that Burke was an exemplar of conservatismÑOÕNeill demonstrates that BurkeÕs defense of empire was in fact ideologically consistent with his conservative opposition to the French Revolution. BurkeÕs logic of empire relied on two opposing but complementary theoretical strategies: Ornamentalism, which stressed cultural similarities between ÒcivilizedÓ societies, as he understood them, and Orientalism, which stressed the putative cultural differences distinguishing ÒsavageÓ societies from their ÒcivilizedÓ counterparts. This incisive book also shows that BurkeÕs argument had lasting implications, as his development of these two justifications for empire prefigured later intellectual defenses of British imperialism.Ê

Download or read book The Irish Question written by Lawrence J. McCaffrey and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1800 to 1922 the Irish Question was the most emotional and divisive issue in British politics. It pitted Westminster politicians, anti-Catholic British public opinion, and Irish Protestant and Presbyterian champions of the Union against the determination of Ireland's large Catholic majority to obtain civil rights, economic justice, and cultural and political independence. In this completely revised and updated edition of The Irish Question, Lawrence J. McCaffrey extends his classic analysis of Irish nationalism to the present day. He makes clear the tortured history of British-Irish relations and offers insight into the difficulties now facing those who hope to create a permanent peace in Northern Ireland.

Download or read book The Hanging and Redemption of John Gordon The True Story of Rhode Island s Last Execution written by Paul F. Caranci and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a frigid day in 1843, Amasa Sprague, a wealthy Yankee mill owner, left his mansion to check on his cattle. On the way, he was accosted and beaten beyond recognition, and his body was left facedown in the snow. What followed was a trial marked by judicial bias, witness perjury and societal bigotry that resulted in the conviction of twenty-nine-year-old Irish-Catholic John Gordon. He was sentenced to hang. Despite overwhelming evidence that the trial was flawed and newly discovered evidence that clearly exonerated him, an anti-Irish Catholic establishment refused him a new trial. On February 14, 1845, John Gordon became the last victim of capital punishment in Rhode Island. Local historian Paul F. Caranci brings this case to life, graphically describing the murder and exposing a corrupt judicial system, a biased newspaper and a bigoted society responsible for the unjust death of an innocent man.

Download or read book History s Erratics written by David M. Emmons and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Ice Age glaciers left behind erratics, so the external forces of history tumbled the Irish into America. Existing both out of time and out of space, a diverse range of these Roman-Catholic immigrants saw their new country in a much different way than did the Protestants who settled and claimed it. These erratics chose backward looking tradition and independence over assimilation and embraced a quintessentially Irish form of subversiveness that arose from their culture, faith, and working-class outlook. David M. Emmons draws on decades of research and thought to plumb the mismatch of values between Protestant Americans hostile to Roman Catholicism and the Catholic Irish strangers among them. Joining ethnicity and faith to social class, Emmons explores the unique form of dissidence that arose when Catholic Irish workers and their sympathizers rejected the beliefs and symbols of American capitalism. A vibrant and original tour de force, History’s Erratics explores the ancestral roots of Irish nonconformity and defiance in America.

Download or read book Object Lessons written by Robyn Wiegman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate advocate of identity studies and a keen reader of U.S. institutional politics, Robyn Wiegman turns her attention in Object Lessons to the critical practices and political ambitions of identity-based fields. In a series of case studies drawn from womens studies, queer studies, ethnic studies, and American studies, she examines the unspoken belief that better theory will produce progressive social change in order to consider the political desire that fuels current scholarly debate. Her metacritical analysis is neither a defense nor a dismissal of such political commitment but a sustained inquiry into the hope it generates, the thinking it inspires, and the conformity it inadvertently demands.
