It analyses how both national movements  sought to refute widespread anti-Irish or anti-Jewish stereotypes and create  more prideful (and highly gendered) images of their respective nations.  Drawing on English-, Irish-, and Hebrew-language archival sources, Aidan  Beatty traces how male Irish nationalists sought to remake themselves as a  proudly Gaelic-speaking race, rooted both in their national past as well as in  the spaces and agricultural soil of Ireland.   On the one hand, this was an attempt to refute contemporary British  colonial notions that they were somehow a racially inferior or uncomfortably  hybridised people. But this is also  presented in the light of the general history of European nationalism;  nationalist movements across Europe often crafted romanticised images of the  nation’s past and Irish nationalism was thus simultaneously European and  postcolonial. It is this that makes Irish nationalism similar to Zionism, a  movement that sought to create a more idealized image of the Jewish past that  would disprove contemporary anti-Semitic stereotypes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349684168\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-44101-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 266\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47504378626188,"sku":"9781349684168","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349684168.jpg?v=1775956488","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349684168","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
