Opis

This original study is the first major critical appraisal of Ireland's post-colonial experience in relation to that of other emergent nations. The parallels between Ireland, India, Latin America, Africa and Europe establish bridges in literary and musical contexts which offer a unique insight into the concepts of independence and freedom, and the ways in which they are articulated by emergent nations. The author offers many incisive answers to the question: What happens to an emerging nation after it has emerged?
