| Résumé : | The title of this article is consciously provocative, and thus cries out for immediate explanation and perhaps, in sole sense, for the provocation to be disarmed. Why, then, is "Was Ireland a colony?" a bad question or rather, a question often badly posed? Reason include the fact that the question is so intertwined with other disputes, including directly political ones, and because there are problems with other disputes, including directly political ones, and because there are problems with the term "colony" itself, which has in so many varied contexts been overworked, under-theorised and even under-defined |
