Local Description

Survivor of a host of lay Catholic organisations that flourished and faded over the last 130 years, the Hibernian Society played a vital role in the lives of countless New Zealanders, helping to cushion them from the effects of economic downturns and to provide social support and fraternalism.

This book examines the Society's roots in Ireland and Australia, its regional rivalries and religious loyalties, and its vital economic and social dimensions. Rory Sweetman is an Irish-born New Zealander, who has written extensively on ethnic and religious history.

Owners name stamped on inside front.

Very good copy.
