RT Book T1 The Orange Order: a global history T2 Studies in British and Irish migration series A1 Coleman, Patrick LA English PP Edinburgh PB Edinburgh University Press Ltd YR 2025 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1915638380 AB "The Orange Order, while Irish Protestant-founded, managed in a short period of time to spread to Britain, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and even Africa. This book examines the order's origins and spread across the world, with a focus on its structure and rituals, activism, parades, material culture and Junior Orange Movement. It integrates the activities of men, women and children and deploys a comparative and transnational framework to identify differences and similarities as the organization developed globally. It argues that despite the best efforts of the Orange Order to challenge its reputation as a male-dominated, bigoted and often violent organisation, this perception endures to this day." -- NO Includes bibliographical references (pages [228]-258) and index CN HS1547.O7 SN 9781399518154 SN 9781399518147 SN 1399518151 SN 1399518143 K1 Orange Order : History K1 Orangemen : Societies and clubs : History K1 Informational works K1 Documents d'information K1 Hochschulschrift
