Ascending to power after the Anglo-Irish Treaty and a violent revolution against the
United Kingdom, the political party Cumann na nGaedheal governed during the first
ten years of the Irish Free State (1922 32). Taking over from the fallen Michael Collins
and Arthur Griffith, Cumann na nGaedheal leaders such as W. T. Cosgrave and Kevin
O'Higgins won a bloody civil war, created the institutions of the new Free State,
and attempted to project abroad the independence of a new Ireland. In response to
the view that Cumann na nGaedheal was actually a reactionary counterrevolutionary
party, Afterimage of the Revolution contends that, in building the new Irish state,
the government framed and promoted its policies in terms of ideas inherited from the
revolution. In particular, Cumann na nGaedheal emphasized Irish sovereignty, the Irishness
of the new state, and a strong sense of anticolonialism, all key components of the
Sinn Féin party platform during the revolution. Jason Knirck argues that the 1920s
must be understood as part of a continuing Irish revolution that led to an eventual
independent republic. Drawing on state documents, newspapers, and private papers including
the recently released papers of Kevin O'Higgins he offers a fresh view of Irish politics
in the 1920s and integrates this period more closely with the Irish Revolution
