Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Fresh analyses on decades of rural and agricultural centrality in Ireland, and the power players seeking influence over rural outcomes. In the early decades of twentieth-century Ireland, a new kind of farmer, one who was among the landowners who emerged as the major winners in the recent agricultural revolution, exerted considerable influence over the new Free State and Irish Catholicism. After 1932, the strides of industrialization were never strong enough to threaten agriculture's economic primacy or the countryside's central position. It was not until the severe crisis conditions in the 1950s that a transformation began, setting southern Ireland on a gradual path toward urban industrialism. Exploring rural Ireland before and after this momentous transition, the contributors to Inside Rural Ireland examine the power of varying groupsruling politicians and state bodies, farmers, clerical and non-clerical civic activists, intellectuals (social commentators, as well as fiction writers), returned emigrants, and farm womento promote or impede rural changes. The book reveals that the state's power to promote rural change has contracted and expanded throughout the years since Ireland joined the European Union in 1973. Furthermore, it explores divided views on the impact of urban industrialism on rural interests. Throughout much of the period, since the 1950s, the power of organized farmers to represent Irish farming interests remained high as the number of those working the land continued to dwindle. In recent decades, the persisting limited power of clerical activists and intellectuals to restructure rural civil society along Catholic or Christian lines has undergone further decline. Most recently, the prospects for farm women to increase their relative power have arguably improved the most, in certain respects, even if land ownership still remains stubbornly in male hands. Delves deeply into the evolution of Ireland's rural history to explore rural Ireland before and after these momentous transitions by examining the power of ruling politicians and state bodies, farmers, clerical and non-clerical civic activists, intellectuals, returned emigrants, and farm women to promote or impede a wide range of rural changes.

Paperback. Condition: New. In the early decades of native rule rural Ireland - and in particular the new farmer-owners who had emerged as the major winners in the recent agrarian revolution - exerted a considerable influence over the new Free State and over Irish Catholicism. Patriarchal power on the land had been strengthened by the transfer of land ownership from landlord to tenantfarmer and was given further strength by patriarchal Catholicism and patriarchal nationalism. After 1932 the strides protected import-substituting industrialisation was making never went nearly far enough to threaten agriculture's economic primacy or the countryside's central position in Irish society. Inspired by the traumatic experience of severe crisis conditions in the 1950s, a transformation that set southern Ireland on the path of urban industrialism commenced in earnest in the 1960s.What emerges is that the power of the state to promote rural change has at once contracted and expanded in the years since Ireland joined the EEC in 1973. Views are divided as to how urban industrialism has impacted on different rural interests. Throughout much of the period since the 1950s the power of organised farmers to represent Irish farming interests remained high as those working the land continued to dwindle in number. In recent decades the always limited power of clerical activists and intellectuals to restructure rural civil society along Catholic (or even Christian) lines has undergone further decline. Most recently the prospects for farm women increasing their relative power have arguably improved the most in certain respects, even if land ownership still remains stubbornly and overwhelmingly in male hands.Inside Rural Ireland delves deeply into the evolution of Ireland's rural history to explore rural Ireland before and after these momentous transitions by examining the power of ruling politicians and state bodies, farmers, clerical and non-clerical civic activists, intellectuals (social commentators as well as fiction writers), returned emigrants, and farm women to promote or impede a wide range of rural changes.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The 1950s and 1960s were a transformative phase in modern Irish history. In these years, a conservative society dominated by the Catholic Church, and a state which was inward-looking and distrustful of novelty, gradually opened up to fresh ideas. This book, now available in paperback, considers this change. It explores how the intellectual movement Tuairim ('opinion' in Irish), was at the vanguard of the challenge to orthodoxy and conservatism. Tuairim contributed to debates on issues as diverse as Northern Ireland, the economy, politics, education, childcare and censorship. The society established branches throughout Ireland, including Belfast, and in London. It produced frequent critical publications and boasted a membership that included the future Taoiseach, Dr Garret FitzGerald. Tuairim occupied a unique position within contemporary debates on Ireland's present and future. This book is concerned with its role in the modernisation of Ireland. It also addresses topics of continued relevance for the Ireland of today, including the Northern Ireland Peace Process and the institutional care of children.…
