A collection of essays to address the importance of Ireland's colonial situation in understanding the work of James Joyce. The volume reflects the ambivalences in Joyce's relationship with Irish nationalism. The contributions both draw on and question the achievements of postcolonial theory, presenting a range of voices, providing new insights into Joyce's engagement with political issues.
