        Irish Home Rule

        by Alan O'Day, Mark Greengrass

        Irish Home Rule considers the pre-eminent issue in British politics during the late nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries. It is the first account to explain the various self-government plans, to place these in context and examine the motives for putting the schemes forward. The book distinguishes between moral and material home rulers, making the point that the first appealed especially to outsiders, some Protestants and the intelligentsia, who saw in self-government a means to reconcile Ireland's antagonistic traditions. In contrast, material home rulers viewed a Dublin Parliament as a forum of Catholic interests. This account appraises the home rule movement from a fresh angle, distinguishing it from the usual division drawn between physical force and constitutional nationalists It maintains that an ideological continuity runs from Young Ireland, the Fenians, the early home rulers including Isaac Butt and Charles Stewart Parnell, to the Gaelic Revivalists to the Men of 1916. These nationalists are distinguishable from material home rulers not on the basis of methods or strategy but by a fundamental ideological cleavage. ;

        by Oksana Lushchevska

        The early 21st century. The humanity is on the verge of the apocalypse, or so they tell on every TV channel. But the mass psychosis sometimes covers up more important problems, so people don’t see the true collapse is looming over their private lives. The life of Polya and Artem, the protagonists of Oksana Lushchevska’s ‘The Other Home’, has divided into two parts – before and after their parents divorced. Now the kids have to build new relationships with their Mom and Dad separately. Can they do it? Can they make themselves at home at the other home? Can they accept new circumstances and overcome the challenges? And what’s more, will the teenage love be an obstacle or a driver of change?
