James Connolly Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Focusing on economic independence, James Connolly's work presents a revolutionary strategy for workers to reclaim industries from the ruling class. He argues that the subjugation of Ireland stems from the oppressed's financial dependence on their oppressors. By merging the concerns of the Irish Nation with the working class, Connolly envisions a policy fostering cooperation that can ignite self-determination. This synergy aims to inspire a renewed sense of freedom, optimism, and purpose among the Irish people.

The Irish worker was beaten down nationally, emotionally, and intellectually when England took over. No longer able to control his tribeland he was subordinate to eviction and reproach at the hands of a proprietor. At this time workers had no legal rights and were subject to a stealthy movement down into poverty and abasement. This history compiled by James Connolly describes the humiliation and outrage of Irish peasants. He details their descent into horrific social difficulty and offers a solution to this downward spiral.

James Connolly's memoir is a brilliant, funny, and insightful account of growing up in a tenement, an industrial school, with his adopted family in the Liberties and in the family he shared with his beloved wife, Bridie. Not without challenges, his upbeat, optimistic outlook is at the core of every decision and every aspect of his life. Armed and resilient, James' kaleidoscope career as a railway worker, a postman, and a buyer and seller of any commodity he could turn a profit on fueled a natural entrepreneurial spirit. He even dipped his toe into the party political scene as Sean Dublin Bay Loftus's political campaign manager over three elections in the '80s. His memory for names and places, nuances in dealings, scams, and one-upmanship are legendary. His story epitomizes that of a resilient, streetwise, optimistic, compassionate, and honorable true Dubliner.

A stirring collection of James Connolly's most important speeches and writing.
