Abstract
The ideology and practice of James Fintan Lalor is examined as a
geographical imagination in the service of anticolonial nationalism. The utopian
and forward-looking aspects of nationalism have not received as much attention as
the retrospective emphasis upon the restoration of past glories. Yet in anticolonial
nationalism, the question of what an independent state could achieve incites a utopian
moment and links nationalism to a more universalist discourse concerning justice.
