Summary:

Rebellion, Resistance and the Irish Working Class: The Case of the 'Limerick Soviet' explores the background and history of a major strike which occurred in Limerick city, Ireland, in 1919. This industrial dispute made headlines worldwide given that many central aspects of the dispute impacted on controversies as relating to workers' rights in both Ireland European at this juncture. In this volume the "Limerick Soviet," as it was known, is considered as a seminal element within Ireland's local and regional history. This volume is an important addition to the historical literature, one which illuminates Ireland's symbolic role within more large-scale European events of this historical period--the Russian Revolution and the mass protests by striking workers in both Germany and Scotland being just two examples.
