What is Ireland and India: Nationalism, Empire and Memory (Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies) about?
Ireland and India examines both imperial and anti-imperial aspects of Ireland's relationship with India in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Through a consideration of historical memory, commemoration and the 'imagined communities' of nationalism, the book analyzes three aspects of Ireland's multi-faceted involvement with the British Empire: relationships between Irish and Indian nationalists, the construction of Irishmen as British (and Irish) national and imperial heroes, and Irish nationalist commemoration of the mutiny of a regiment of Irish soldiers in India. Ranging from Irish imperial heroics on the Northwest frontier of India to anti-imperial collaboration between expatriate nationalists in New York City, the book demonstrates how both imperial and anti-imperial legacies are critical elements of Ireland's modern history. "This book examines the imaginative dimension of Irish-Indian imperial connections in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries by considerating the relationships between Irish and Indian nationalists, the construction of Irishmen as British imperial heroes, and Irish nationalist commemoration of the mutiny of a regiment of Irish soldiers in India"-
