Repealing Unions
American Abolitionists, Irish Repeal, and the Origins of Garrisonian
Disunionism

W. Caleb McDaniel

Two "disunionist" movements began in the early 1840s, one on each side of
the Atlantic Ocean. In Ireland, the Repeal movement, led by Catholic
statesman Daniel O'Connell, demanded an end to the political Union between
Ireland and England. Irish nationalists had long blamed the Union for a
variety of problems, ranging from the impoverishment of Ireland's working
classes to the subordination of Catholics within the United Kingdom. But a
concerted movement for disunion did not peak until 1842 and 1843, when
O'Connell's Loyal National Repeal Association (LNRA) staged numerous
"monster meetings" advocating "repeal of the Union." Meanwhile, in those
same years, abolitionists in the United States began advocating repeal of
another union-the Union between northern freedom and southern slavery.
William Lloyd Garrison, editor of the Boston Liberator, first demanded
disunion in 1842. Soon he was joined by a vocal abolitionist
minority-including Wendell Phillips, Maria Weston Chapman, Henry Clarke
Wright, and Edmund Quincy-who agreed, as Wright told the Liberator, that "we
ought to have laid before the slaveholders, long ago, this alternative. You
must abolish slavery, or we shall dissolve the Union

"We Could Be of Service to Other Suffering People"1:
Representations of India in the Irish Nationalist Press, c. 1857-18872

Jennifer M. Regan
Queen's University Belfast

There has been a recent surge in interest in the connections between
Victorian Ireland and the British Empire, but little research into Irish
nationalist popular attitudes about Empire.3 Content analysis of Irish
nationalist newspapers can help to correct that. Ireland had a somewhat
ambiguous position in the Empire, as both forming part of the metropole and
retaining some semi-colonial features, such that Irish people could be said
to have been both colonised and colonisers.4 Recognising the
disproportionately high level of Irish involvement in many imperial
institutions, particularly the military, scholars have also been exploring
the ways in which Ireland contributed to, and extracted both ideas and goods
from, the Empire. Irish-Indian connections-political, religious, military,
cultural and literary-have been a particular focus of study.5 However, there
is still little known about popular Irish attitudes towards, or knowledge
of, the Empire or India. Stephen Howe's claim that Irish nationalists took
little interest in the plight of other nationalists in the British Empire
has been refuted by Carla King in her recent work on Michael Davitt and in
research by this author on Alfred Webb.6 Still, questions remain as to
whether Irish nationalists were somehow disposed to be particularly
sympathetic towards Indians. Did Irish nationalists see Indians as oppressed
brothers, or colonised others? Did they see themselves as racially superior
to mutinying Indians, or as equals who were engaged in the same
anti-colonial struggle? Did Irish nationalism in fact have any anti-imperial
position, or any interest in imperial matters?

Subject Headings:
Theater -- Ireland -- History -- 20th century.
English drama -- Irish authors -- History and criticism.
Women in literature.

Abstract:

This essay engages with dramatic representations of womanhood in the Irish
context during the first quarter of the twentieth century. Lacanian theory
is used in conjunction with Irish women's studies scholarship in order to
inform the analysis of plays by dramatists including Maud Gonne, Padraic
Colum, Lennox Robinson, and T. C. Murray. The aim is to show how women in
Irish society were faced with the impossible task of fulfilling such
idealized roles as Woman, Wife and Mother, and how this situation was
variously represented and contested in the theatre.

This article offers a well referenced overview of the historiography of
Catholicism in Scotland - word processors were invented so that Bernard
could get in all his references - before moving on to a study of Glasgow
City Poor Board applications in the 1870s, in the Glasgow City Archive. It
thus offers many insights into the fine detail of the family lives of the
very poor, as disasters and crises, and population movements, created need.

Catholics in Scotland and their historians have recounted their past in
several ways. We have many celebrations of the faithful Irish immigrant
steadfastness while their Scottish-born brethren have had at best negligible
recognition.2 At the other extreme the Banffshire-born conservative priest
Rev. Aeneas Dawson airbrushed the Irish from his massive nineteenth-century
history: even Daniel O'Connell did not merit a mention. On the other side,
the pioneering lay activist James Walsh virtually ignored native-born Scots
in his monumental study.3 In more recent times several historians have begun
to capture something of the complexity of the Catholic experience.4 The
independent-minded Catholic laity, restless Irish-born clergy and working
class leaders have received consideration. Highlanders, Italians,
Lithuanians, Belgians, Poles, English, converts and religious orders of men
and women have received some long overdue attention.5 Some leading clerical
and lay [End Page 77] figures who tried to create and sustain a sense of
community now have their biographers.6

AB: This article surveys ideas about race in pre-Norman England
(c.45020131066). I review contemporary race categories that tend to
structure our view of the medieval evidence; modern and medieval =
vocabulary;
and some ideas about race and ethnicity current in the early Middle =
Ages.
Within that broader context, I then discuss Gildas, Bede, and King =
Alfred.
Race and ethnicity are vexed categories. Anyone inquiring into medieval
English ideas of race must try to disentangle the historical evidence =
from
our own ideas of race. Some medieval English people thought about race =
in
entirely different ways than we do; some did not. The point here is that
race belongs first and foremost to the domain of thought, and only
accidentally to the domain of objects. There is nothing one can point =
to,
dissolve in a beaker, or grind into a powder that reveals an English =
race.
We must also try to distinguish race from family, which does have =
biological
markers, as well as from tribes and clans. The historical study of race =
and
ethnicity is largely a record of thoughts about race and their =
real-world
effects. Since our own thoughts about race can prejudice our study of =
the
past, in what follows I review some of the dominant thoughts about race =
in
the last two centuries before turning to Anglo-Saxon England. Race and
ethnicity are not fixed categories. They change over time. Sometimes =
they
are defined along cultural or religious lines, sometimes along political =
or
linguistic lines. As time passes, one or another idea of race comes to
dominate narratives of national or regional self-identity, and then
evanesces.1 For example, the dominant nineteenth-century American racial
consensus designated the Irish as a race distinct from Anglo-Saxons. By =
the
mid-twentieth century, the Irish had been 'whited', or integrated into a
larger 'white' race, itself a relatively recent innovation.2 Today, the
United States government presumes that each individual belongs to one of
five races, or to one of two ethnicities, although it acknowledges =
multiple
affiliations.3 None of them is Irish. The five races are 'American =
Indian or
Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or =
Other
Pacific Islander, and White'. The two ethnicities, so to speak, are
'=A0"Hispanic or Latino" and "Not Hispanic or Latino"=A0'.4 We can =
discern here
various strata of racial categories, including geographical definitions =
of
race and familal ones. We can also see that American categories of race
differ from British ones and, for that matter, from Spanish ones. Spain =
is
divided into a number of ethnoterritories, and so the Spanish national
government recognizes multiple ethnicities under the more general rubric =
of
Hispanic (as did Isidore of Seville in the seventh century). Thus, the
American ethnic category 'Hispanic' does not correspond to the ethnic
categories recognized in Hispania herself. The Mexican government has
different definitions again.5 So, it's not clear that 'Hispanic' is a
category that would be defined similarly by an American, an Englishman, =
a
Mexican, and a Spaniard. So, if the categories of race and ethnicity =
differ
from one country to another, then we need to pay attention to where we =
are
speaking from when we look back at the Middle Ages. We also need to pay
attention to who is speaking. Who defines a race, or an ethnicity? Can =
it be
reasonably self-defined, is it socially defined, or are races and
ethnicities stable, biological categories? Are racial categories nominal
conveniences or do racial categories reflect physical essences? We may
flatter ourselves to think that the former is the more sophisticated, =
modern
position. In fact, the latter is more recent. Fran=E7ois Bernier was =
perhaps
the first (in 1684) to use 'race' to describe essential biological
characteristics as definitive of races. Racial categories also came to =
be
described culturally. Hippolyte Taine, the hugely influential
nineteenth-century literary critic, spoke of race much like we speak =
today
of culture2013 nationally defined as French, English, Irish, Italian, =
and so
forth. In the confusing tumult of nineteenth-century anthropology, races
were differentiated from, equated with, and confused with peoples =
(V=F6lker),
cultures, families, nations, clans, and tribes. An infamous case of =
abstract
racial categories demanding biological definition arose in the =
N=FCrnberg Laws
of September, 1935. The National Socialists of Germany had declared Jews
racially distinct from Germans, but there were no tests to determine who =
was
and who was not a Jew. Similarly, in the American South after the Civil =
War,
local legislatures produced codes that tried to distinguish black =
citizens
from white citizens biologically; these were known as Jim Crow laws. =
Many
such approaches assume that race simplifies (or 'purifies') the further =
back
in time one goes. So, if my grandmother was white, then I am white. But,
what makes my grandmother white? And her grandmother? Our dominant =
narrative
of biological diversity is inherited from Charles Darwin, and tends to
presume a single origin point 2013 like horses or birds evolving from a
single-cell organism (monogenesis). One might be tempted by analogy to
impose this model on humans, and to assume thereby that racial =
categories
simplify as we go further back in time. But, they don't. One may want to
acknowledge that medieval people were no less sophisticated in this =
regard
than we are. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, academics tend =
to
define race as a conceptual category that correlates with culture, and
perhaps with geography, but not explicitly with biology. Debates have =
been
further confused by political ideology. Premises grounding one's =
political
attitudes can limit or direct the questions one asks of race.6 However
complicated the situation seems today, it was no clearer during the =
Middle
Ages.

I've been looking at an unpublished memoir by Ignatius O'Brien, one
of the last Lord Chancellors of Ireland (a very pale green Redmondite
Catholic) in which he makes a passing remark to the effect that he
doesn't think the post-Reformation difference in religion was as
important for Anglo-Irish relations as generally believed, since it
seems to him that Bede's view of the Irish is very similar to that of
later English writers. Does anyone know of a convenient discussion of
Bede and the Irish?

Differences in Education (Edited Vol.)

In educational research on migration and minorities, the debate over the

long standing tradition. In educational theorizing the so-called thesis =
of
=A1=A5conflict of cultures=A1=A6 is under review because when critically =

it is shown to support essentializing processes of ethnization and

research =A1=A5culture=A1=A6 has been predominantly understood from a =
constructivist
perspective. =A1=A5Transculturality=A1=A6 and =A1=A5recognition=A1=A6 =
have been posited as
highly relevant concepts which in turn are in need of critical =

All in all, when taking into account current debates among

=A1=A5Leitkultur=A1=A6 (leading
culture) in all that relates to recognition and social cohesion in =
modern
societies, =A1=A5culture=A1=A6 has become a predominant factor for the =
explanation
and understanding of social differences, e.g. dilemmas and conflicts.

Migrants and minorities are affected by these theoretical directions as =
they
are always at risk of becoming imprisoned in essentialized cultural
definitions and/or of having their cultural preferences denied because =
they
are perceived and qualified as standing in opposition to social =
solidarity.
Migrants and minorities respond to these challenges in multiple ways; =
they
are active agents in the pedagogical, political, social, and scientific
processes that position and attribute them to this or that cultural =
sphere.
On the one hand, they reject ascribed cultural attributes while striving
towards integration in a variety of social spheres, e.g. school and
workplace, in order to realize their social mobility. On the other hand,
they articulate a demand for cultural self-determination. This =
discursive
duality is met with suspicion by the west (especially towards Islam).

For educational processes to be developed in migration/minority =
societies,
questions related to the meaning of cultural heterogeneity and the
social/cultural limits of learning and communication (e.g. migration
education or critical multiculturalism) are highly important.

It is precisely here, where the chances for new beginnings and new =
trials
become of an utmost importance for educational theorizing which urgently
needs to find answers to current questions related to individual =
freedom,
community/cultural affiliations, and societal democratic cohesion. =
Answers
to these questions need to account for both =A1=A5political=A1=A6 and =
=A1=A5learning=A1=A6
perspectives at all macro, mezzo, and micro contexts.

The planned edited volume seeks empirical and theoretical contributions =
from
a variety of methodological perspectives on the following issues as they
relate to migration and minority educational processes and practices:

Scottish, Irish, and imperial connections: Parliament, the three kingdoms,

Abstract:
This paper offers a new perspective on the emergence of machinery in the
cotton spinning trade during the third quarter of the eighteenth century. It
does so by examining the interplay between economic, political, and national
interests within the early Hanoverian state. Changes in trading
relationships between textile producers across the three kingdoms of
England/Wales, Ireland, and Scotland created escalating supply-side
problems, which, by the 1760s, would precipitate a quest for solutions based
on new technologies.

Author: Crawford, Alan

307-309(3)
Publisher: Berg Publishers

It is a book review, a review of British and Irish Home Arts and Industries
1880-1914: Marketing Craft, Making Fashion (Paperback)
by Janice Helland
Foreword by Fintan Cullen

Synopsis of book
This is the first book to study the revival of cottage crafts that
accompanied the growing interest in an arts and crafts movement in Britain
and Ireland. It focuses upon three regional craft associations, organised,
sponsored and promoted by British women: the Donegal Industrial Fund
(founded 1883 by Londoner Alice Rowland Hart); the Irish Industries
Association (founded 1886 by Ishbel, Countess of Aberdeen and supported by a
number of Irish and British aristocrats); and Highland Home Industries
(revived in 1886 by the Marchioness of Stafford, later Millicent, Duchess of
Sutherland).The three examples have been selected because although like many
of their counterparts, the patrons endorsed a relationship between work and
morality, they also recognised the significance of consumption and market.
Their patrons understood the value of spectacle, the usefulness of
advertising and the efficacy of exhibition. The emphasis is upon how and why
they adopted these strategies to promote and sell cottage crafts for the
benefit of rural workers.

The introduction provides an overview of home arts and industries in Britain
as part of the late-nineteenth century craft revival and examines the
difference between the large English-based Home Arts and Industries
Association and other home arts organisations in England, Scotland, Wales
and Ireland.

Abstract

This paper revisits the question of Bede=92s debt to Irish scholarship. =
It
attempts to show exactly which texts of Irish origin Bede used, not only =
in
his scientific treatises but also in his exegetical works, and, perhaps =
more
importantly, how he used them. He seems to have appreciated the =
synthetic
approach of the Irish masters, but did not hesitate to query their
scholarship, supplementing their information with classical and =
Patristic
texts. On the other hand, he failed to understand their humour and is =
found
to be led astray by the witticisms of Virgilius Maro Grammaticus. =
Although
Bede does not acknowledge any of Irish masters, his attitude toward the
Irish may not have been as negative as it would appear from a modern
standpoint.

Producing 'decent girls': governmentality and the moral geographies of
sexual conduct in Ireland (1922-1937)

Authors: Una Crowley a; Rob Kitchin a

Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland

Abstract
In this article we examine the mode of governmentality constructed in
Ireland with regard to the regulation and disciplining of sexuality in the
post-independence era up to the writing of the Constitution (1922-1937).
Drawing on the writings of Michel Foucault, we document how Ireland became
an intense site of applied, national bio-politics with a panoply of
government commissions and legislation, accompanied by new sites of reform
(Magdalene Asylums and Mother and Baby Homes), which together were designed
to mould and police the sexual practices of its citizens and create a
sanitised moral landscape. Whilst a thoroughly gendered project, with nearly
all legislation and sites of reform targeting women, we contend it was also
a highly spatialised endeavour. The modes and practices of governmentality
produced a dense spatialised grid of discipline, reform and self-regulation,
seeking to produce 'decent' women inhabiting virtuous spaces by limiting
access to work and public spaces, confining women to an unsullied (marital)
home, and threatening new sites of reformation, emigration or ostracisation.

Abstract
War is instrumental in shaping and negotiating gender identities. But what
role does peace play in dispelling or affirming the gender order in
post-conflict contexts? Building on a burgeoning international literature on
representative landscapes and based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in
Northern Ireland between 2003 and 2006, this article explores the peacetime
commemoration of the Northern Ireland 'Troubles' in order to explore the
nuances of gender. Tellingly, the memorial landscapes cultivated since the
inception of the paramilitary ceasefires in 1994 privilege male
interpretations of the past (and, therefore, present). Gender parity,
despite being enshrined within the 1998 Belfast Agreement which sought to
draw a line under almost three decades of ethno-nationalist violence,
remains an elusive utopia, as memorials continue to propagate specific roles
for men and women in the 'national project'. As the masculine ideologies of
Irish Nationalism/Republicanism and British Unionism/Loyalism inscribe their
respective disputant pasts into the streetscape, the narratives of women
have been blurred and disrupted, begging the question: what role can they
play in the future?

ACIS (American Conference for Irish Studies) Mid-Atlantic Regional
conference

Enabling/Disabling Ireland: Law, Literature, Politics, and Historical
Change.

When the Republic of Ireland joined the European Union in 1973, the nation
was required to enact human rights legislation ensuring equal protection and
equal access for all its citizens. As such, this legislation focused
attention on the various ways Ireland enables and supports its citizens.
This conference investigates the various ways Irish culture, literature, law
and society enable identity and politics. We seek to examine both the
positive and negative aspects of enabling, raising the following questions:
In what ways does literature empower, or reinforce, issues of social
identity? How might historical events and practices be seen through the
lens of enabling? What effect does legislation have on altering the social
perceptions of disabled individuals or even political identity? In what
ways do nostalgia, historical perspective, or social critique serve as
enablers, or negative influences, perpetuating stereotypes? How might
global forces - multinational capital, transnational human rights movements,
supra-state mechanisms - shape and be shaped by Irish constructions of
disability? How might projections of Irish identity seek healing for the
disenfranchised or offer succor to those in need?

Abstracts of no more than 250 words to Ken Monteith by August 15, 2008.

Although the conference does have the above theme, other topics are welcome.
The conference will take place from October 10-11, 2008 at LaGuardia
Community College. Part of the City University of New York, LaGuardia
Community College boasts one of the most diverse student bodies in the
nation and was recognized as one of the top three community colleges in the
United States. A pioneer in e-Portfolio and collaborative teaching
practices, LaGuardia not only serves the borough of Queens and the greater
New York metropolitan area, but also stands as the world's community
