Sinn Féin 1905-2005

Kevin Rafter

Rafter chronicles the history of the Irish political party Sinn Féin from its beginnings in 1905 as a minor nationalist pressure movement to its presence today as the largest nationalist group in Northern Ireland with a significant minority presence in the Republic. The author highlights the pragmatism that drives modern Sinn Féin and which has become its defining characteristic, replacing the rigid idealism so firmly associated with the party for most of its history. He accesses the scale of the u-turns - sponsored by the Adams leadership and accepted by party membership - that are pushing Sinn Féin into the political mainstream and positioning it to challenge the political establishment on the island of Ireland.
