A propos de cet article

Paperback. Unifies writings by leading scholars on various aspects of the 1923 Irish general election. After eleven arduous months, on May 24, 1923, the guns fell silent, and the Irish Civil War finally came to an end. Twelve weeks later, all adults aged twenty-one or overregardless of social status or gendercast their vote in the state's first general election. The 1923 general election marks the true beginning of modern Irish democracy. Born in blood, the new Irish Free State was set on course to become a remarkably stable democracy in the late 1920s and early 1930s, in stark contrast to the rise of dictatorships across Europe. The Irish public had an opportunity to cast their judgment on who they wanted to govern their new free state, and cast their opinion on the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty, even though it had been ratified in January 1922. A record 376 candidates stood for election, so every seat was contestedanother first in Irish electoral history. This book offers fresh and thought-provoking insights rooted deeply in original archival research. The Cumann na nGaedheal Party's "safety first" election campaign; the importance of the election for Eamon de Valera; the perspectives of the Labour and Farmers' Parties; the propaganda and electioneering tactics deployed by the various parties; and newspaper coverage of the election, amongst many other areas, are all richly explored. Further, this collection takes a forensic look at the end of the Irish Civil War and the August 1923 election in a wider European context; the Catholic Church's attitude toward the election; the roles of women in the 1923 election; and the engagement of the Irish diaspora in North America. Vying for Victory offers a deeply researched, original, and fascinating analysis of the very first democratic step of a free Irish nation. It will be a valuable resource to Irish history enthusiasts, as well as students and scholars of Irish history. After 11 arduous months, on 24 May 1923, the guns fell silent, and the Irish Civil War finally came to an end. Twelve weeks later, all adults aged 21 or over - regardless of social status or gender - cast their vote in the State's first general election. The 1923 General Election marks the true beginning of modern Irish democracy. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
