Summary:
Beginning with the history of censorship under British rule and during the Irish Revolution, the book shows how the new states built on that legacy. It examines all forms of censorship in the period: political, film, literature, radio and theatre, and puts them into an international context showing how the two Irelands at some times resembled other jurisdictions but also created their own unique legacies of repression. This is the story of how a Unionist government treated Nationalist dissent, IRA propaganda and labour organisations. It compares Northern repression of these groups to southern actions against the IRA and Irish communists. It also tells how the two states reacted to foreign culture in cinema and literature.--Source other than Library of Congress.
