Description

Canadians have been involved in, intrigued by, and frustrated with Irish politics, from the Fenian Raids of the 1860s to the present day. Yet scholars have largely neglected Canadian–Irish relations since the consolidation of the Irish Free State in the 1920s. In Canada and Ireland, Philip J. Currie addresses this lacuna and examines political relations between the two countries, from partition to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. This intriguing study sheds light on Ottawa’s responses to key developments such as Ireland’s neutrality in the Second World War, its unsettled relationship with the Commonwealth, and the always contentious issue of Irish unification.

CHOICE Connect

This is a brilliant and much needed book. Currie is to be congratulated for focussing on the unrecognized and undiscussed issues in Canadian-Irish history and compiling such a balanced and sophisticated analysis. This will be a perfect text to accompany any Irish history course taught in Canada.

Canadian Journal of Irish Studies

[Philip Currie] has done a commendable job in exploring the relationship between Ireland and his adopted country. [Canada and Ireland] is an excellent scholarly work.
