In the s, the CIA not only observed Cubans in Canada, but also watched the situation in Quebec and used a Canadian diplomat to collect information on North Vietnam. To punish Woodrow Wilson for his apparent lack of support, the Clan backed Harding in the United States presidential election.

Besides calling on Canada to defund the police, many activists are also ramping up demands to defund the military. In October Canada's war department finally narrowed down its search for corporations that could fulfill the military's demands for a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System. Canadas Enemies : Spies and Spying in the Peaceable Kingdom Writer The story of the war is much more than a story about the Soviet Union and the United States. Meanwhile, Canadian security officials ran around in a state of frantic frustration because of German "conspiracies" along the Ontario-New York State border imagined by Sir Courtney bennett, British consul-general in New york City. This arm of Fenian activity in America produced a surge in radicalism among groups of Irish immigrants, many of whom had recently emigrated from Ireland during and after the Great Hunger.

In , Devoy promoted a " New Departure " in Irish republican thinking, by which the "physical force party" allied itself with the Irish Parliamentary Party under the political leadership of Charles Stewart Parnell , MP; the political plans of the Fenians were thus combined with the agrarian revolution inaugurated by the Irish National Land League. Clan na Gael was also involved via McGarrity and Casement in the abortive attempt to raise an " Irish Brigade " to fight against the British. He rose from private in the cavalry to colonel, commanding his own force. After the war, American moles in a Latvian post office monitored mail between Canadian Communists and Moscow.

ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the constitutive rhetorical strategies of revolutionary Irish nationalists operating transnationally from 1858-1876. Collectively known as the Fenians, they consisted of the Irish Republican Brotherhood in the United Kingdom and the Fenian Brotherhood in North America. Conceptually grounded in the main schools of Burkean constitutive rhetoric, it examines public and private letters, speeches, Constitutions, Convention Proceedings, published propaganda, and newspaper arguments of the Fenian counterpublic. It argues two main points. First, the separate national constraints imposed by England and the United States necessitated discursive and non- discursive rhetorical responses in each locale that made

    Zjkcilitants of the 1860'S: the Philadelphia Fenians

    zJkCilitants of the 1860's: The Philadelphia Fenians HE history of any secret organization presents a particularly difficult field of inquiry. One of the legacies of secret societies Tis a mass of contradictions and pitfalls for historians. Oaths of secrecy, subterfuge, aliases, code words and wildly exaggerated perceptions conspire against the historian. They add another vexing dimension to the ordinary difficulty of tracing and evaluating docu- mentary sources.1 The Fenian Brotherhood, an international revo- lutionary organization active in Ireland, England, and the United States a century ago, is a case in point. Founded in Dublin in 1858, the organization underwent many vicissitudes. Harried by British police and agents, split by factionalism, buffeted by failures, reverses, and defections, the Fenians created a vivid and romantic Irish nationalist legend. Part of their notoriety derived from spectacular exploits that received sensational publicity, and part derived from the intrepid character of some of the leaders. Modern historians credit the Fenians with the preservation of Irish national identity and idealism during one of the darkest periods of Irish national life.2 Although some general studies of the Fenians have been written, there are few studies of local branches of the Brotherhood. Just how such a group operating in several countries functioned amid prob- lems of hostile surveillance, difficulties of communication, and 1 One student of Irish secret societies, who wrote a history of the "Invincibles," a terrorist group of the i88o's, found the evidence "riddled with doubt and untruth, vagueness and confusion."

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by MURAL - Maynooth University Research Archive Library “Up to the Sun and Down to the Centre:” The Utopian Moment in Anticolonial Nationalism Gerry Kearns Department of Geography Maynooth University ABSTRACT: The ideology and practice of James Fintan Lalor is examined as a geographical imagination in the service of anticolonial nationalism. The utopian and forward-looking aspects of nationalism have not received as much attention as the retrospective emphasis upon the restoration of past glories. Yet in anticolonial nationalism, the question of what an independent state could achieve incites a utopian moment and links nationalism to a more universalist discourse concerning justice. Anticolonial nationalism and young Ireland n Under Three Flags: Anarchism and the Anti-Colonial Imagination, Benedict Anderson explored the ways that anticolonial struggle produces intellectual insights that anticipate a utopian Ifuture.1 In developing their criticisms of the social and economic disabilities required by colonial rule, anticolonial theorists must imagine ways that social, economic and political life might be better ordered. One implication of Anderson’s analysis, according to Amrith and Sluga, is that the United Nations “would have been unthinkable without the intellectual labor of Asian radical nationalists, who appropriated elements of European thought but transcended the racial exclusions inherent within them.”2 Not all anticolonial thought is this creative, and on occasion it amounts to little more than a passionate wish to expel the colonial power. Furthermore, the anticolonial imagination is also fed by the utopianism that animates other political struggles such as those around class, political representation, and freedom of expression.

    Abstract Potent Legacies: the Transformation of Irish

    ABSTRACT POTENT LEGACIES: THE TRANSFORMATION OF IRISH AMERICAN POLITICS, 1815-1840 Mathieu W. Billings, Ph.D. Department of History Northern Illinois University, 2016 Sean Farrell, Director This dissertation explores what “politics” meant to Irish and Irish American Catholic laborers between 1815 and 1840. Historians have long remembered emigrants of the Emerald Isle for their political acumen during the 19th century—principally their skills in winning municipal office and mastering “machine” politics. They have not agreed, however, about when, where, and how the Irish achieved such mastery. Many scholars have argued that they obtained their political educations in Ireland under the tutelage of Daniel O’Connell, whose mass movement in the 1820s brought about Catholic Emancipation. Others have claimed that, for emigrant laborers in particular, their educations came later, after the Famine years of the late 1840s, and that they earned them primarily in the United States. In this dissertation, I address this essential discrepancy by studying their experiences in both Ireland and America. Primarily utilizing court records, state documents, company letters, and newspapers, I argue that Irish Catholic laborers began their educations in Ireland before emigrating in the late 1820s and early 1830s. Yet they completed them in America, particularly in states where liberal suffrage requirements permitted them to put their skills in majority rule to use. By 1840, both Whigs and Democrats alike recognized the political intellects of Irish-born laborers, and both vigorously courted their votes. Indeed, the potent legacies of their experiences in Ireland made many the unsung power brokers of the early republic.

Kearns Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3EN, UK Abstract Many anti-colonial nationalisms incorporate a historical justification for independence. In the case of Irish nationalism, this historical argument has often drawn attention to traumatic historical events of conquest and famine. These traumas are blamed on the English colonisers. In this article, I explore some of the consequences of this particular way of tying together place and history in the service of nationalism. I argue that it can serve to deflect nationalists from detailed consideration of alternative futures towards a purely manichean critique of the past. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Nationalism; John Mitchel; Ireland; Irish Famine; Colonialism; Trauma People, land and history in nationalist identities Among other things identities can interpellate (Althusser, 1971) people as mem- bers of a political community. They help define a group characterised by mutual obligations and rights. Identities help justify the limits of civil society. Nationalism is one form in which these identities are often expressed. The nation defines a people. When used to denote a political community, nationalism easily becomes a plea for statehood on the part of the people it defines. This conflation of nation and state was an axiom of the League of Nations (Heffernan, 1998; Shaw, 1998) and bedevils much theoretical work on nations and states.

    Chapter 1 The Fenian Brotherhood in New York and the US Irishmen still, thank God, leave their country with the hatred of England lying deep in their souls. For them there is no pretence [sic] of union of hearts, nor of anything but war with England, for which they are at all times willing to supply the sinews.1 —John O’Leary, recollections of Fenians and Fenianism he genesis of the Fenian Brotherhood was the Emmet Monument TAssociation that was established in the United States for the ostensible purpose of erecting a monument to Robert Emmet, who was executed by the British after leading an Irish rebellion in 1803. Although the group publicly had relatively narrow goals, there was a somewhat coded message in its very name. While Emmet was at trial, his closing speech included the words: Let no man write my epitaph; for as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance, asperse them. Let them and me rest in obscurity and peace, and my tomb remain uninscribed, and my memory in oblivion, until other times and other men can do justice to my character. When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth, then and not till then, let my epitaph be written. At least among the Irish community, this implied that any group devoted to establish such a monument must also be involved in the nationalist 1 © 2018 State University of New York Press, Albany 2 Rebels on the Niagara struggle.
