Anois ar theacht an tSamhraidh w/ Bill Rolston and Robbie McVeigh

This week Diarmuid was joined by Chris Beausang as they sat down with Bill Rolston and Robbie McVeigh, authors of 'Anois ar theacht an tSamhraidh: Ireland, Colonialism and the Unfinished Revolution', for a discussion of the nature of Irish colonialism. We discuss what led them to writing the book, the resurgence of colonial and post-colonial thought, the original plantations, the outcomes of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the development of both states north and south, and questions of identity. 

The book can be purchased directly from the publisher Beyond the Pale Books here - https://www.beyondthepalebooks.com/shopnewbooks/p/colonialism 

Chris Beausang is a writer and critic based in Dublin. He has written a review of the book for Liberated Texts which can be found at https://liberatedtexts.com/reviews/irelands-struggle-for-self-determination-robbie-mcveigh-and-bill-rolstons-ireland-colonialism-and-the-unfinished-revolution/
