Reviews

Irish Catholic Identities represents a great sweep of Irish history covering periods when Catholics at times despaired of a future to the present day when anxieties about the future occupy many peoples' thoughts. The highs and lows of Catholic attitutes to the state, their perceptions of themselves and the perceptions of others are discussed in a wide-ranging, varied and original way that should prove of great interest and value to scholars and general readers. (Ambrose Macaulay, The Furrow, September 2014) It is a volume to which someone such as myself, with a genuine fascination for the subject matter, is immediately attracted, but there is plenty between its covers for anyone even remotely interested in the interplay between religion and identity. 'Theeditor of this book must be commended for focusing our attention on amuch-neglected field. The collection reflects something of the state of the artin the study of Irish identity formation and has much of interest for studentsof Irish history. It is certainly a subject that requires furtherconsideration.' HenryA. Jefferies, Ulster University, Irish Economic and Social History 44 (1) -- .
