Abstract
Embarking for Cuba in 1872, New York Herald correspondent and Fenian
conspirator James J. O'Kelly began what would become one of the first,
book-length accounts of Cuba's Ten Years' War for independence. An
international readership followed this early correspondent's war,
particularly through O'Kelly's court-martial and near execution in =
Spanish
Cuba, but his 1874 publication The Mambi-Land had longevity only in =
Spanish.
La tierra del mamb=ED made its formal entry into the Cuban canon in 1930 =
with
a Prologue by anthropologist Fernando Ortiz. This essay approaches the
Mambi-Land (the fugitive republic) as both an enclosed spatial unit and =
a
loose translation: first of the inter-American tradition of the Mamb=ED =
(the
nationalist insurgent), and second of O'Kelly himself. Ortiz will draw =
the
correspondent into a figurative Cuban interior by substituting the =
insular
guerrilla encampment of the original narrative with the wider =
coordinates of
O'Kelly's biography. As two publics crowd into the close quarters of the
Mambi-Land, the Cuban Question is mapped onto still other geographies, =
from
the Reconstruction South to the transatlantic routes of a mobile
anticolonialism.

Towards a new generation of diaspora centred development:
Current practice and emerging priorities

Abstract: Growing interest in the role of global diasporas in the
development of countries of origin signals nothing less than a paradigm
shift within the field of Development. A new tradition of policy
making, referred to as 'diaspora strategy', has come of age. Already, a
wide range of diaspora strategies and associated diaspora schemes
(institutions, instruments, policies, programmes, and initiatives) have been
conceived and implemented. Moreover many countries are now participating
in a global dialogue on best practice and through joint 'policy transfer'
workshops, seminars, publications, toolkit manuals, and conferences are
identifying exemplars of best practice and swapping and copying schemes.

Against this backdrop, the purpose of this paper is to provide a review of
current practice and to identify a number of emerging priorities. It is
proposed that there exists a unique nexus between sending state diaspora
strategies, diaspora agendas and, the strategic interests of host states and
that it is this unique nexus which mediates, energises, brokers, and
frustrates the contributions of diasporic groupings to homeland development.
Diaspora centred development will be more effective if work is undertaken to
build partnerships between each of these three stakeholders so as to bring
them into a better collaborative alignment. Arguably the most
critical agenda for the future is to create fora, mechanisms, dialogues, and
platforms through which each stakeholder can negotiate their interests in
diaspora strategising with an awareness of the compromises which might need
to be made if the collective endeavour is to succeed.

Narrative and the Start of the Northern Irish Troubles: Ireland's
Revolutionary Tradition in Comparative Perspective

Simon Prince

Journal of British Studies
Vol. 50, No. 4 (October 2011), pp. 941-964

'When the Irish Republican Army (IRA) again embarked upon armed struggle in
1956, it was again for "an independent, united democratic Irish republic."
"This is the age-old struggle of the Irish people versus British
aggression," read the Proclamation of December 1956.1 The plan was for
"flying columns"-which had played an important role in the Anglo-Irish war
of 1919-21-to cross into North Ireland's border counties and link up with
local units.2 The four columns were named after republican heroes (Patrick
Pearse, Tom Clarke, Bartholomew Teeling, and Liam Lynch) and Tom Barry, who
had written the West Cork flying column of the Anglo-Irish War into legend,
was called upon to train his successors.3 By fleeing into the past, however,
the IRA was forced once again to retreat: the present problems of the
North's security apparatus, the South's hostility, and the Catholic
community's indifference could not be overcome by anachronistic tactics.4 In
February 1962, when the IRA finally faced up to the failure of the campaign,
the Army Council blamed "the attitude of the general public whose minds have
been deliberately distracted from the supreme issue facing the Irish
people-the unity and freedom of Ireland."5

Before continuing with this narrative about the Irish revolutionary
tradition, it is necessary to break off to examine the narratives that are
within it. Why did the Irish revolutionary tradition survive into the 1960s?
Why did it revive at the end of the decade when so many of its European
counterparts were going to the dustbin of history?...'

We have a number of new members - currently there are 242 members of the
Irish Diaspora list.

I did promise our new members that I would distribute a reminder about
access to the Irish Diaspora list archives.

As IR-D members know, earlier this year we were able to integrate all of the
Irish Diaspora list archives, notionally going back to 1997, into one large
archive at Jiscmail - the UK academic community's listserv.

Jiscmail uses the software Listserv, which many members will be know well.

http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/

Jiscmail knows you through your email address. To gain access to the
archives you need to go to that web address. You sign up, in the usual
Listserv fashion, and become an individual Subscriber. Jiscmail sends a
password to your email address. You then go back to the web site and log
in.

Since Jiscmail knows you by your email address you will find that you have
access to the Irish Diaspora list archives there.

The whole thing looks pretty robust and easy to manage - though, as always
when searching this sort of text database, you have to do some thinking
ahead, and coax the Search facility into delivering goods.

I gave a recent example a little while ago - the discussion of Famine and
fishing.

Another example... One new IR-D member is interested in the 1943 De Valera
radio broadcast, The Ireland That We Dreamed of... - which has been
discussed on IR-D a number of times over the years.

A good starting point is my own contribution...

And follow subsequent discussion. But also coax Search into giving you
earlier and later discussion of de Valera.

'This is not just a subtle and sophisticated scholarly contribution to =
popular music and Irish studies. It is also a fine and exciting account =
of how music can be used to make sense of the complexity, anxiety and =
exhilaration of contemporary cultural identities'. --Simon Frith, Tovey =
Professor of Music, University of Edinburgh

'The role of the second-generation Irish in shaping British pop has, =
until now, been all but overlooked. Sean Campbell looks deeply and =
thought-provokingly at the second-generation Irish "in-betweenness" of =
Kevin Rowland, Shane MacGowan and, perhaps most surprisingly, Morrissey =
and Johnny Marr of The Smiths, that seemingly most English of pop =
groups. He sheds new light on their songs and on the strategies of =
protest, resistance and assimilation articulated therein. "Irish Blood, =
English Heart" is a constantly intriguing and often provocative book =
about the complex process - and peculiar freedom - of not wholly =
belonging to one culture or the other'. --Sean O'Hagan, The Observer

'We long ago embraced Wilde, Shaw and Sheridan, all Irish playwrights =
living in England, as integral to a lively British theatre culture. =
Until now, we have heard less about Morrissey, MacGowan, Rowland and the =
rest of the second-generation Irish in British popular music. Sean =
Campbell's enthralling study, with its direct access to these musicians, =

against which all other interrogations of post-colonialism in pop =
culture are likely to be weighed'. --Philip Chevron, The Pogues

'Four stars - Brilliant'. --MOJO Magazine

'This is a highly valuable book on the Irish diaspora and the politics =

contribution to the cultural history of the 1970s and 1980s, and =
contains lessons for the present in which England and the United Kingdom =
continue to fashion other "enemies within"'. --Nabeel Zuberi, author of =

'This is an excellent piece of scholarship, offering an erudite mix of =
rigorous cultural history and insightful musical analysis. It is a major =

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Second-generation Irish musicians have played a vital role in the =
history of popular music in England. This book explores the role of =
Irish ethnicity in the lives and work of these musicians, focusing on =
three high-profile projects: Kevin Rowland and Dexys Midnight Runners, =
Shane MacGowan and The Pogues, and Morrissey/Marr and The Smiths. The =
book locates these musicians in a hyphenated =91Irish-Englishness=92 =
marked by =91in-betweenness=92 and explores the different ways that they =
engaged with this in-betweenness through their creative work and their =
engagements with audiences, the media and the music industry. The book =

Author: Ewart, Henrietta

Source: Midland History, Volume 36, Number 2, Autumn 2011 , pp. 225-244(20)
Publisher: Maney Publishing

Abstract:
Successful migration requires adaptation to the cognitive disjunction
between 'there and here' and 'then and now'. One possible response is the
emergence of a hybrid identity expressed in phrases used by diaspora members
such as 'I'm Coventry Irish.' This article explores the role of community,
class, culture and narrative in the formation of a 'Coventry Irish' identity
in migrants to Coventry from Ireland across the mid twentieth century. It
draws on archival sources to investigate the interplay between Irish
migrants and the host community. The lived experience of migrants is
explored through oral history interviews and archival recordings. It
provides evidence of the processes through which migrants integrated within
a working-class city whilst maintaining a distinct ethnic identity and how
this identity is evolving over subsequent generations.

Special Issue: COUNTER-TERROR STRATEGIES, HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE ROLES OF
TECHNOLOGY

The impact of counter-terrorism measures on Muslim communities

Tufyal Choudhurya & Helen Fenwicka*

pages 151-181

Abstract
Concerns have been raised that counter-terrorism laws and policies are
increasingly alienating Muslims, especially young people and students, and
that counter-terrorism measures may themselves feed and sustain terrorism.
This paper relies on extracts from a report on this issue commissioned by
the Equality and Human Rights Commission to develop and deepen understanding
of the impact of counter-terrorism legislation and policies in general, and
on Muslim communities in particular. Building on existing studies, this
report contributes to the research and wider public discussion of this
matter through an examination of the experiences of counter-terrorism
legislation and policies on Muslim communities in four local areas across
Britain and interviews with practitioners and officials at a national and
local level. The areas focused on relate in particular to various uses of
technology to further counter-terror strategies and the reaction to them of
those interviewed.

History of Education

The response of the Roman Catholic Church to the introduction of vocational
education in Ireland 1930-1942

Marie Clarke

Abstract
This paper discusses the manner in which the Roman Catholic Church in
Ireland attempted to impose denominational control on the system of
vocational education introduced by the state in 1930. Considerable research
on education has been conducted within the period in question; however, the
area addressed in this paper has been largely neglected by scholars in the
field. The position of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland is examined in
the context of Church-state relations within Europe with particular
reference to the issue of control in education. The paper argues that the
Roman Catholic Church in Ireland sought denominational control over
vocational education through the introduction of various amendments to
legislation dealing with the system.

MARY WARD AS CRITIC OF MATTHEW ARNOLD

Joanne Wilkes*

pages 453-467

Abstract
The literary criticism of Mary (Mrs Humphry) Ward, n=E9e Arnold, has =
received
little attention, although she wrote 15 reviews for Macmillan's Magazine =
in
the 1880s, plus prefaces to the Bront=EB novels over 1899=961902. This =
article
considers some of this criticism in the context of Ward's response to =
the
writings of her uncle, Matthew Arnold. Ward's Arnold heritage was =
central to
her sense of identity, but as a female she struggled for the scholarly
education that her male relatives took for granted. The article focuses
mainly on Ward's review for Macmillan's Magazine in March 1884 of a new
edition of Keats, but also discusses her Bront=EB prefaces. In dealing =
with
Keats, a poet Arnold treats several times, Ward diverges markedly from =
her
uncle's approach, in ways that both reflect the struggle for learning =
that
she shared with Keats himself and look forward to twentieth-century
approaches to the poet. In the Bront=EB prefaces, she stresses the =
Bront=EB
family's =93Celtic=94 heritage in a mode which is clearly indebted to =
Matthew
Arnold, but also suggests that her uncle's tribute to Emily Bront=EB, in
poetry rather than criticism, showed a =93Celtic=94 dimension of Arnold =
himself
that his critical writing sometimes concealed. The prefaces show as =
well,
however, that, unlike Arnold, Ward was interested in the traits specific =
to
women's fiction

Review over the years. =20

Including my short story, The Fiddler's Apprentice, which the ISR team =
more
