Eoin O’Broin will launch his new book “Sinn Fein and the politics of left republicanism” in Sligo Central library on Thursday 18th February 2010 at 7.00pm. Published by Pluto Press of London, the book is a critical analysis of the past, present and future of Sinn Féin and ‘left republican’ politics. The premise of the book is that, despite the growth of the party in recent years, Sinn Féin is much misunderstood and often misrepresented. Ó Broin said: “I wanted to write a book which, on the one hand, told the history of Sinn Féin and left republicanism from its origins in the 18th century to the present while, at the same time, offering a critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the left republican project.”
