Putting Ireland on trial, Jim Larkin’s verdict was damning and resolute. His words resound, shuddering towards the present day where class division and workers’ rights disputes make headlines with swelling frequency. In this pioneering collection, an exemplary list of contributors registers the radical momentum within Dublin in 1913, its effects internationally, and its paramount example in shaping political activism within Ireland to this day. The narrative of the beleaguered yet dignified workers who stood up to the greed of their Irish masters is examined, revealing the truths that were too fraught with trauma, shame and political tension to remain within popular memory. Beyond the animosity and immediate impact of the industrial dispute are its enduring lessons through the First World War, the Easter Rising, and the birth of the Irish Free State; its legacy, real and adopted, instructs the surge of activism currently witnessed, but to what effect? The Dublin Lockout, 1913 illuminates this pivotal class war in Irish history: inspiring, shocking, and the nearest thing Ireland had to a debate on the type of society that was wanted by its citizens.

Minu Dublin

Ei, ma ei tulnud Dublinisse kalkuneid kitkuma. Tegelikult ei olnud mul uldse plaanis just Iirimaale tulla. Tahtsin lihtsalt ara. Ara sombusest Eestist, lahenevast talvekulmast ja loputust koolistressist. Esimene suvi Dublinis toi mu teele rasked valikud. Elu, mis nais stabiilne ja enesestmoistetav, tegi jarsku traagilise poorde. Uleoo leidsin end taas ihuuksi vooras riigis, vooraste inimeste keskel, ja mulle sel hetkel koige olulisemad inimesed olid mu korvalt jaadavalt kadunud. Nii ei jaanudki muud voimalust, kui hakata voitlema selle nimel, mis veel oluline – iseenda elu, Eestisse jaanud pere ja tuleviku nimel, mis malestuste toel enam nii troostitu ei tundunudki. Olen joudnud Dublinis kaheksa aasta jooksul tosin korda kolida, vahetada mitu tookohta, olla politseis kahtlusalune ja pidada advokaadiga nou, kuidas oleks koige parem endisele ulemusele katte maksta. Ja algul oli mul kavas tulla siia ainult aastaks! Dublinis on midagi sellist, mis mind ara ei lase.

After the Lockout

Автор: Darran McCann

Год издания:

An ambitious and compelling first novel about a key moment in Irish history.November 1917. With tensions in Ireland, war in Europe and revolution in Russia, Victor Lennon returns to his home village after a long exile. Radicalised by his experiences in the Dublin Lockout and Easter Rising, Victor is a hero to many but a danger to some.Those closest to Victor know his true nature: his father, Pius, now drinking himself to death; his oldest friend, Charlie, wounded in the trenches; and the love of his life, Maggie, who he left behind years before. But soon Victor and the fearsome parish priest, Stanislaus Benedict, are on a collision course, with the very souls of the people caught between religion and socialism.Told from the perspectives of these two equally strong-willed characters, After the Lockout is a first novel of tremendous ambition and achievement. At its heart is a conflict emblematic of a recurring faultline in Irish history, and of one more eternal and universal: between hope and experience; between ideals and human weakness.
