<i>Alter-Nations: Nationalisms, Terror, and the State in Nineteenth-Century Britain and Ireland</i> explores the intricate dynamics between British imperial nationalism and Irish anticolonial nationalism in Victorian cultural production. This study redefines the narrative of modern nationhood in Britain and Ireland, utilizing an archive that includes political theory, polemical prose, novels, political cartoons, memoirs, and newspaper writings. Amy E. Martin examines the significant role of Irish anticolonial nationalism within Victorian culture, offering a fresh perspective on concepts like “nationalism,” “terror,” and “the state.” The texts reveal how narratives of Irish immigration, racial difference, and violence became central to the capitalist national crisis in nineteenth-century Britain. The 1860s visual culture and journalism mark the emergence of the modern conception of “terrorism” as irrational, racialized anticolonial violence, which aligns with Victorian theories of the hegemonic state, justifying its monopoly on violence as anti-terrorist. Concurrently, Irish Fenian writings present an anticolonial critique that engages with issues relevant to postcolonial studies, reimagining the relationship between anticolonialism, modernity, and state forms. Ultimately, this work emphasizes the importance of Irish studies within both postcolonial and Victorian studies, challenging the boundaries and concerns of these fields.
