Sinn Fein: 1905-2005 – In the Shadow of Gunmen by Kevin Rafter
(Hardback; 25.00 Euro / 30.00 USD / 20.00 UK; 270 pages)
Today one political party stands on the verge of governing in
both parts of Ireland. That party is Sinn Fein - the long-time
political wing of the Irish Republican Army, which waged war
against British rule in Northern Ireland for over thirty years.
Led by Gerry Adams, Sinn Fein is now the dominant nationalist
party in Northern Ireland and recent successes in the Irish
Republic mean it is now only a question of when Sinn Fein enters
Government Buildings in Dublin. But what are the events, which
have pushed this once anti-system organisation near to the
corridors of power? In this new book, Kevin Rafter investigates
the emergence of Sinn Fein as a political force on the island of
Ireland. He examines the concessions and compromises - sponsored
by Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness - which have aided Sinn
Fein's recent political advance. He delves into the history of a
party founded a century ago and charts how the political brand
that is the name Sinn Fein has been used and abused over the
last hundred years. He explores Sinn Fein's policy positions,
its funding sources and its electoral prospects. The author
highlights the pragmatism that drives modern Sinn Fein and which
has become its defining characteristic, replacing the rigid
idealism so firmly associated with the party for most of its
history. He accesses the scale of the u-turns - sponsored by the
Adams leadership and accepted by party membership - that are
pushing Sinn Fein into the political mainstream and positioning
it to challenge the political establishment on the island of
Ireland.

Policing in Northern Ireland: Conflict, Legitimacy and Reform by
Aogan Mulcahy
(Paperback; 28.00 Euro / 35.00 USD / 18.00 UK; 228 pages)
This book provides an account and analysis of policing in
Northern Ireland, providing an account and analysis of the RUC
(Royal Ulster Constabulary) from the start of 'the troubles' in
the 1960s to the early 1990s, through the uneasy peace that
followed the 1994 paramilitary ceasefires (1994 - 1998), and
then its transformation into the Police Service of Northern
Ireland following the 1999 Patten Report. A major concern is
with the reform process, and the way that the RUC has faced and
sought to remedy a situation where it faced a chronic legitimacy
deficit. Policing Northern Ireland focuses on three key aspects
of the police legitimation process: reform measures which are
implemented to redress a legitimacy crisis; representational
strategies which are invoked to offer positive images of
policing; and public responses to these various strategies.
Several key questions are asked about the ways in which the RUC
has sought to improve its standing amongst nationalists: first,
what strategies of reform has the RUC implemented? second, what
forms of representation has the RUC employed to promote and
portray itself in the positive terms that might secure public
support? third, how have n The theoretical framework and
analysis developed in the book also highlights general issues
relating to the implications of police legitimacy and
illegitimacy for social conflict and divisions, and their
management and/or resolution, in relation to transitional
societies in particular. In doing so it makes a powerful
contribution to wider current debates about police legitimacy,
police-community relations, community resistance, and conflict
resolution.

The Pope’s Children: Ireland’s New Elite by David McWilliams
(Hardback; 23.00 Euro / 28.00 USD / 18.00 UK; 280 pages)
An intriguing and provocative look at the Irish generation born
in the early 1980s in the wake of the Pope's visit. Now about
twenty-five years old, they are about to inherit the new
Ireland. Who are they? What makes them tick? Where are they
taking us?

An Illustrated History of the Gaelic Athletic Association by
Eoghan Corry
(Large Hardback; 30.00 Euro / 37.00 USD / 24.00 UK; 250 pages,
with full colour illustrations throughout)
The GAA is the largest amateur sports body in the world and the
most successful voluntary association in the history of modern
Ireland. Its games are played in every parish, village and
townland of Ireland; its influence on Irish public life is
immeasurable. Drawing on the resources of the GAA Museum in
Croke Park plus many private and public sources, Eoghan Corry
surveys the development of Gaelic games through their various
eras. Among the themes covered are the consistent domination of
the football championship by Kerry in every decade; the
emergence of Ulster teams, first in the 60s and more decisively
in the 1990s; the up and down fortunes of Dublin's footballers;
the emergence of Kilkenny as a major power in hurling
immediately before the first World War; the Kilkenny-Cork
rivalry of the 1930s; the dominance of Tipperary immediately
after the second World War and in the 1960s; and the brilliant
revival of hurling, spearheaded by Clare, in the 1990s. In
addition, Eoghan Corry pays due attention to camogie, handball
and the social side of the GAA.

A History of Hurling 2nd edition by Seamus King
(Paperback; 23.00 Euro / 28.00 USD / 18.00 UK; 430 pages, with
three 8-page black-and-white photo inserts)
As well as re-visiting and revising the existing text, Seamus
King brings the History of Hurling up-to-date, including the
2005 Championship. The last ten years has seen the tumultuous
rise of Clare as a major hurling power, followed by their recent
decline, the first Wexford championship success in a generation,
the rising power of Waterford in Munster and the continued, if
fragile, vitality of Offaly hurling. The last few years have, of
course, been dominated by the revival of the Big Three. Between
them, Cork, Kilkenny and Tipperary have won every All-Ireland
since 2000, re-establishing the dominant historic pattern in the
game

Power Sharing: New Challenges for Divided Societies edited by
Ian O’Flynn and David Russell
(Paperback; 30.00 Euro / 36.00 USD / 20.00 UK; 228 pages)
It is widely assumed that internal power-sharing is a viable
democratic means of managing inter-communal conflict in divided
societies. In principle, this form of government enables
communities that have conflicting identities to remedy
longstanding patterns of discrimination and to co-exist
peacefully. Key arguments in support of this view can be found
in the highly influential works of Arend Lijphart and Donald
Horowitz. "New Challenges for Power-Sharing" seeks to explore
the unintended consequences of power-sharing for the communities
themselves, their individual members, and for others in society.
More specifically, it is distinctive in questioning explicitly
whether power sharing: perpetuates inter-communal conflict by
institutionalising difference at the political level; inhibits
conflict resolution by encouraging extremism; stifles internal
diversity; and fails to leave sufficient space for individual
autonomy. This book not only provides a theoretical exploration
and critique of these questions, but comprehensively examines
specific test cases where power-sharing institutions have been
established, including in Northern Ireland, Belgium,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia and Lebanon. It also explores such
issues as the role of political leaders, human rights
instruments, the position of women, and the prospects for
reconciliation within such societies. Furthermore, it provides a
detailed set of policy recommendations to meet the challenges of
transition in deeply-divided societies.

The Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in colour by Norman
Johnston
(Hardback; 30.00 Euro / 36.00 USD / 20.00 UK; 112 pages, with
full colour illustrations throughout)
The Great Northern Railway was one of the best loved of Irish
railways and is still fondly remembered by its staff and
passengers. No doubt, this was partly to do with the way the GNR
held on to its independence, even after most of the other
railways in Ireland had been taken over by either CIE or the
UTA. For British enthusiasts it preserved something of the
character and charm of the 'pre-grouping railway scene (i.e.
before 1923). Its independence officially ended in 1953 when it
was bought out by the two governments in Ireland and
administered by the Great Northern Railway Board - the first
'Cross-Border Body'. Even then this made little real difference
to day-to-day running and it continued as the GNR until 1958
when the Northern Ireland Government forced its division between
the UTA and CIE. Even after 1958 the gradual appearance of the
liveries of the new companies did little to erode the culture
and ethos of the old GNR. Men in UTA uniform at Strabane still
regarded their CIE counterparts at nearby St Johnston as their
real colleagues, rather than the UTA men on the ex-NCC lines. It
was really only with the creation of NIR in 1967 that the old
loyalties began to disappear.

Railways in Ulster’s Lakelands by Anthony Burges
(Paperback; 15.00 Euro / 17.50 USD / 9.00 UK; 64 pages with
black-and-white photos throughout)
The Great Northern and Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties
railways were fascinating places for enthusiasts in the 1950s,
with mainline expresses, branch line services and goods trains
all commonplace. The railways running in the border counties
hold a special place in many people's affections and this album
takes a look at the stations, people and trains serving the
communities in Counties Cavan, Monaghan, Fermanagh, Leitrim,
Sligo and Donegal. The journey begins at Belturbet station, now
restored as a community facility with a small railway museum and
calls at, amongst others, Cavan, Clones, Enniskillen, Bundoran
Junction and Manorhamilton.
-----------------------------------
Chasing the Flying Snail by Anthony Burges
(Paperback; 15.00 Euro / 17.50 USD / 9.00 UK; 64 pages with
black-and-white photos throughout)
In the 1950s, the railways operated by Coras Iompair Eireann
(CIE) were more like a working museum rather than a state-owned
railway. The vintage coaches and life-expired locomotives were
part of the charm of the Irish system and attracted numerous
railway enthusiasts. Tony Burges visited many parts of the
network during trips in 1953 and 1957, and captured CIE
operations at locations such as Rosslare, Wexford, Waterford,
Cork, Tralee, Dromod, Portarlington and Dublin. He not only
photographed the rolling stock but also the stations, many of
which have long since disappeared or been converted to other
uses. This book, the first in the new series, contains 54
high-quality black and white photographs, all reproduced at 8
inches (200mm) wide.

Far From the Green Fields of Erin: Ulster Emigrants and Their
Stories by David Hume
(Large Paperback; 22.00 Euro / 27.00 USD / 15.00 UK; 128 pages,
with black-and-white photos throughout)
Whilst not intended to be an exhaustive account of the many who
emigrated from the Province of Ulster, this work by David Hume
reflects the many and varied experiences of the men, women and
children who made long journeys to other parts of the world.
Many of the emigrants came from an Ulster Scots/Scotch Irish
background and, importantly whilst recognising the contribution
that those individuals made to the development of the areas in
which they settled, particularly North America, Australia and
New Zealand, David Hume hasn't overlooked those from other
backgrounds who also left these shores and contributed to
developments in many areas.

A Dictionary of Hiberno-English compiled and edited by Terence
Patrick Nolan
(13.00 Euro / 16.00 USD / 10.00 UK; 278 pages)
Drawing on the resources of a recently-established
Hiberno-English website hosted by UCD, this new edition of "A
Dictionary of Hiberno-English" has been extensively revised and
updated. Tom Paulin, "The Guardian" - "Terry Dolan's "A
Dictionary of Hiberno-English"...is a pioneering work of
scholarship, which ascertains the nature of English as it is
spoken and written in Ireland. I see it as one of the foundation
stones of a new civic culture in the island." Owen Kelly, "Irish
News" - "...Professor Dolan's excellent dictionary, where you
find such gems as "hallion" and "at the heel of the hunt"
sitting comfortably with the Irish and English origins of much
of our speech, is a significant contribution."

(Oblong Hardback; 40.00 Euro / 48.00 USD / 32.00 UK; full colour
photographs throughout)

Irish Literature: The Eighteenth Century an Annotated Anthology
edited by A. Norman Jeffares and Peter van de Kamp
(Trade Paperback; 30.00 Euro / 38.00 USD / 21.00 UK; 400 pages)
"Irish Literature in the Eighteenth Century" illustrates not
only the impressive achievement of the great writers - Swift,
Berkeley, Burke, Goldsmith and Sheridan - but also shows the
varied accomplishment of others, providing unexpected,
entertaining examples from the pens of the less well known. Here
are examples of the witty comic dramas so successfully written by
Susannah Centlivre, Congreve, Steele, Farquhar and Macklin. There
are serious and humorous essayists represented, including Steele,
Lord Orrery, Thomas Sheridan and Richard Lovell Edgeworth.
Beginning with Gulliver's Travels, fiction includes John Amory's
strange imaginings, Sterne's stream of consciousness, Frances
Sheridan's insights, Henry Brooke's sentimentalities and
Goldsmith's charm. Poetry ranges from the classical to the
innovative. Graceful lyrics, anonymous jeux d'esprit,
descriptive pieces, savage satires and personal poems are
written by very different poets, among them learned witty women,
clergymen and drunken ne'er-do-wells. Politicians, notably
Grattan and Curran, produced eloquent speeches; effective essays
and pamphlets accompanied political activity. Personal letters
and diaries - such as the exuberant Dorothea Herbert's
Recollections - convey the changing ethos of this century's
literature, based on the classics and moving to an increasing
interest in the translation of Irish literature. This book
conveys its fascinating liveliness and rich variety.

Irish Literature in the Nineteenth Century volume 1 An Annotated
Anthology edited by A. Norman Jeffares and Peter van de Kamp
(Trade Paperback; 30.00 Euro / 38.00 USD / 21.00 UK; 400 pages)
This, the first of three volumes, spans the first third of the
nineteenth century. It documents Ireland's significant literary
contribution to an age of invention, with Thomas Moore's
romantic Melodies, Maria Edgeworth's regional fiction, and
Charles Maturin's voyeuristic Gothic stories. It witnesses the
rise of a quest for authenticity - mapping and transmuting the
Gaelic past (in Hardiman's "Irish Minstrelsy", Petrie's essay on
the round towers, and O'Curry's research into Irish manuscripts)
and faithfully depicting the real Ireland (in the first-hand
accounts of Mary Leadbeater, William Hamilton Maxwell, Asenath
Nicholson, the peasant fiction of William Carleton and the
Catholic fiction of the Banim brothers). In Jonah Barrington's
"Sketches" it records the demise of the rollicking squirearchy,
while in the stories of Lover it portrays the rise of the stage
Irishman. But it also offers a selection from political
documents and speeches, and from popular writings which were
imprinted on the Irish consciousness. These are contextualised
by historical documents, and by Irish forays into European
Romanticism.

Impressions of Ireland by Einar Olafur Sveinsson
(Paperback; 20.00 Euro / 25.00 USD / 14.00 UK; 124 pages)
In 1947 Professor Einar Olafur Sveinsson from Iceland,
accompanied by Hermann Palsson, a research student, and James
Hamilton Delargy, Directory of the Irish Folklore Commission,
visited Teelin, Glencolumbkille and the Bluestacks. Back in
Iceland Professor Sveinsson wrote an article in which he paints
a vivid picture of folklife in Donegal. In this article, he
emphasises the links between Iceland and Ireland and recalls the
ancient legends of the ‘papar’, the early Christian monks who
went from Teelin to Iceland. Translations into Irish and
English are given together with the original Icelandic text.

Conversations: Snapshots of Modern Irish Life by Darrach
MacIntyre
(Hardback; 25.00 Euro / 30.00 USD / 20.00 UK; 377 pages)
"Conversations" offers the reader a unique insight into life in
Ireland at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The author
talks with people from all over the island about their everyday
lives, and the reasons - both inspirational and purely practical
- which compel them to live as they do. We gain an intimate
insight into what fascinates us most about other people - how
they live, what makes them tick, what makes them get up in the
morning...Inspired by the work of the pioneering American oral
historian Studs Terkel, MacIntyre allows his forty-nine subjects
to relate in their own words the stories of their lives.
Typically, these are voices that are heard only rarely, but
their distinct and compelling individuality resonates far beyond
the final page. MacIntyre has selected his subjects with the
reporter's instinct for what makes a good story and the
filmmaker's feel for what is fascinating about the everyday.
Shaped by their experiences, hopes and fears, "Conversations"
captures something of the heart and soul of modern Ireland.

Green Days: Cricket in Ireland 1792-2005 by Gerard Siggins
(Paperback; 19.00 Euro / 23.00 USD / 12.00 UK; 128 pages with
black-and-white photos throughout)
While Ireland’s qualification for the 2007 World Cup might have
surprised many inside and outside the country, it is merely the
latest stage on a journey that began in the Phoenix Park more
than two centuries ago. Ireland’s cricket history is an
extraordinarily colourful one, peopled by writers such as Joyce,
Shaw and Beckett, statesmen such as the Duke of Wellington, John
Hume, Charles Stuart Parnell and John Redmond, and personalities
such as Lady Gregory, Thomas Andrews and Colin Farrell. With a
fascinating collection of vintage photographs, and stunning
action shots from the modern era, Gerard Siggins tells the story
of cricket in Ireland from the earliest days up to the ICC Trophy
final in July 2005. It is the story of a sport buffeted by the
enormous social and political changes of the last 200 years,
with war, famine, revolution, independence, and economic boom
and bust all impacting on Irish cricket. Now, with recent
victories over West Indies, Zimbabwe and Surrey, the Irish team
is well placed to have a successful World Cup. Cricket in
Ireland 1792-2005 tells the stories of Irish cricket’s darkest
days and finest hours – and looks forward to many more to come.

On the Beat: A Woman’s Life in the Garda Siochana by Mary
O’Connor
(Paperback; 11.00 Euro / 13.50 USD / 8.00 UK; 200 pages, with a
16-page photo insert)
It became obvious that this woman was not going to break for
these men. Even when they showed her pictures of her child, with
his head swollen the size of a football, she blank-walled them.
She ignored the allegations that she had anything to do with his
injuries, as if they weren't talking to her. All the while her
little child was lying on a surgeon's table fighting for his
life. Apparently the surgeon had said it was the worst case of
child abuse he had witnessed in his entire 25 years dealing with
children. 'Eight hours it took - eight hours of probing into her
own personal life of being abused while growing up, of turning
to drugs and living in a daze, of suffering cruelty constantly
at the hands of callous men. Her father, her brothers and all
her lovers had beaten her throughout her lifetime. That's all
she knew. "I understand," I lied. With that, she threw herself
down at my knees and cried. "Will my son die? When I came back I
found him stuck between the bed and the radiator. It was on full
blast," she said. "I was out getting a score. I was gone a long
time."' This unsentimental, yet sensitive, account of the work
of a Ban Garda is a unique book.

distinctive vision of the emergent Ireland. Now he returns to

reflections on love, death and the times we live in, ranging in
tone from the light-hearted to the contemplative.

Down A Road All Rebels Run by Mogue Doyle
(Paperback; 10.00 Euro / 13.00 USD / 7.00 UK; 240 pages)
This title is set in South Wexford, 1920 with Jim Rowe, the
newly appointed captain of a volunteer company, who are fighting
the Black and Tans. The Tans are brutal and emotionless and their
orders are to crush any notions of Irish independence among the
local population. Jim is young, idealistic and committed.
Boosted by small successes, he plans an ambitious mission: the
ambush of the local Tan garrison as they return to base one
evening. But a callous betrayal, from within the volunteer
ranks, leads the Tans directly to him. Their reprisal is more
vicious and more personal than he could ever have imagined.
Ordinary people are faced with unimaginable events in this
haunting story of struggle and survival, driven by idealism,
love, and a lust for revenge.
