Home Rule from a Transnational Perspective

The book examines the relationship between the Irish Parliamentary Party and the United Irish League of America from 1901 to 1918, highlighting John Redmond's dismissal of American Irish influence. This decision, made during a critical period leading up to the home rule crisis of 1914, reveals the complexities of Irish nationalism and the consequences of alienating the diaspora. The narrative explores how Redmond's actions contributed to the decline of constitutional nationalism in Ireland, offering a transnational perspective on Irish politics.
