More about the book
The book delves into the historical context of Ireland's partition, highlighting how it stemmed from imperial strategies and has led to ongoing political division. Kieran Allen critiques the notion of inherent antagonism between Catholic and Protestant communities, arguing instead that conservative forces have perpetuated divisions through economic policies and austerity measures. Drawing inspiration from James Connolly, the author advocates for a grassroots movement aimed at achieving a secular, socialist, and united Ireland, challenging traditional narratives of sectarianism.
