Beskrivning

On a sunny day, men and women march through the streets wearing orange collarettes and carrying colourful banners. However, this is not the Orange Order in Northern Ireland but the same organisation in Africa. This book moves beyond the cliche to delve deeply into the inner structure and rituals of the Orange Order and its global reach. The Orange Order, while Irish Protestant-founded, managed in a short period to spread to not only other parts of the UK, but also to Australia, New Zealand and even Africa. Previous research has tended to focus on just one to two countries within a narrow timeframe. This book, by contrast, covers almost 230 years of the Orange Order across multiple countries. Unlike other studies, it integrates the activities of men, women and children.

Recensioner i media

This book breaks much new ground in the scrutiny of under-researched aspects of Orangeism, and it does so in a valuable comparative and transnational framework. Many new thought-provoking perspectives are provided on the Orange movement across the British Isles, North America, Australasia and Africa. It is a major contribution to scholarship on the subject.
