The Orange Order

This book breaks much new ground in the scrutiny of under-researched aspects of Orangeism, and it does so in a valuable comparative and transnational framework. Many new thought-provoking perspectives are provided on the Orange movement across the British Isles, North America, Australasia and Africa. It is a major contribution to scholarship on the subject. -- Graham Walker, Emeritus Professor of Political History at Queen’s University Belfast
Immersed in archival material, Patrick Coleman tells a truly global story about the Orange Order. Using transnational, diasporic and comparative perspectives, this book presents the Order as imperial, gendered and intergenerational, where its continued existence in a post-Brexit world demonstrates the enduring power of coloniality. -- Jim MacPherson, University of the Highlands and Islands
Outstanding in its geographic sweep and temporal range, Patrick Coleman offers a compelling transnational account of the rise and global spread of the Orange Order. This timely and deeply researched book provides compelling insights into the world of Orangeism and its extensive political and cultural impacts. -- Malcolm Campbell, The University of Auckland
a good contribution to the historiography. Building on other scholars’ work on transnational and diasporic Orangeism, [Coleman] has produced a book that will find a broad readership. -- Donald M. MacRaild, London Metropolitan University * Immigrants & Minorities *
