Publisher's Synopsis
Campaigning for a United Ireland focuses on the role of one newspaper - the Irish Freedom/Irish Democrat - and its role in establishing the visibility of Irish politics globally between the
years 1939 and 1973. The newspaper brought to life the struggles of Irish immigrants in Britain and those of Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland during the period. This text investigates the paper's coverage of working-class issues as well as the political commentary and criticism that it provided within its pages.
Garcia's incisive work exposes the cultural patterns of the time and how one paper told the story of a desire for a united Ireland, with the Connolly Club or Connolly Association striving, through the paper's coverage, to work with Britain and lead the labour movement.
