{"product_id":"descendancy-david-fitzpatrick-9781107440296","title":"Descendancy: Irish Protestant Histories Since 1795","description":"This book examines Protestant loss of power and self-confidence in Ireland since 1795. David Fitzpatrick charts the declining power and influence of the Protestant community in Ireland and the strategies adopted in the face of this decline, presenting rich personal testimony that illustrates how individuals experienced and perceived 'descendancy'. Focusing on the attitudes and strategies adopted by the eventual losers rather than victors, he addresses contentious issues in Irish history through an analysis of the appeal of the Orange Order, the Ulster Covenant of 1912, and 'ethnic cleansing' in the Irish Revolution. Avoiding both apologetics and sentimentality when probing the psychology of those undergoing 'descendancy', the book examines the social and political ramifications of religious affiliation and belief as practised in fraternities, church congregations and isolated sub-communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Fitzpatrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107440297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107440296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d","brand":"David Fitzpatrick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924056703231,"sku":"9781107440296","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8acf99e9-4a46-4a77-8130-4b96e74875b5.jpg?v=1681068220","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/descendancy-david-fitzpatrick-9781107440296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
