      This paper addresses the role of Ireland and Irish republicanism in the geography, biography and political thinking of the French anarchist geographer Élisée Reclus (1830–1905). This paper sheds new light on the construction of a scientific and political discourse, one which was radically opposed to external and internal colonialisms in the Age of Empire, analysing primary sources such as Reclus' texts and correspondence, along with his transnational networks. It draws on present-day debates on ‘geography and anarchism’, postcolonial Ireland and international circulation and localisation of knowledge. Finally, it is a contribution to evaluating the importance of the ‘British Isles’ as a place for production and reception of the geographical and political works by both Reclus and the other anarchist geographer Pëtr Kropotkin (1842–1921), scholars and militants who lived there in different periods of their respective careers.

      This article explores the challenges Jewish immigrants faced in establishing new lives and livelihoods in the West of Ireland at the end of the nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century. It argues that experiences of settlement by a minority community involved layers of complexity shaped by national interests and local encounters. Negotiating expectations of a nation pursuing political and economic independence raised challenges for Jewish migrants and refugees. This article highlights the delicate and tense relationship between the entrepreneurial hopes of Jewish businessmen and the nationalist economic discourse that politicized ideas of who was welcome in a national economy.
