Exhibiting Irishness: Empire, Race, and Nation, C. 1850-1970

This book uncovers that exhibitions uniquely reveal the changing landscape of Irishness over two centuries by analysing the politics of display. It demonstrates how questions of Irishness intersected with broader ideas of citizenship, race and ethnic construction in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
