IRISH-UA 183 - History of Modern Ireland II, 1800 to the Present

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Introduces the general themes that have shaped Irish history from 1800 to the present. Particular attention is paid to the complex geopolitical relationship that has existed between Ireland and Britain. Examines the place of the historical memory in fashioning inherited identities shaped most explicitly by nationalism and unionism. In the aftermath of revolution, a bitter civil war and partition, the island saw two state-building projects emerge catering to the needs of two jurisdictions. Using the lens of Ireland, this class seeks to locate the Irish experience in the context of world history as a nation massively influenced by Britain and the United States.
