Negotiating Colonialism

Negotiating Colonialism offers a postcolonial critique of early modern English colonialism in Ireland. Focusing specifically on the experiences of one Gaelic-Irish family, the O’Dwyers of Kilnamanagh in County Tipperary, and set against the backdrop of the rise of nascent forms of Irish nationalism, it constructs various historical geographical accounts of the contested spaces and identities of early modern Irish society. In examining the key political, economic and cultural aspects of England's first colony, the book critically interrogates the conflicts, complexities and violence of Ireland's emergence under the shadow of colonialism.
