The paper details the critical analysis of the emerging English colonialism in Ireland in the 17th century as elaborated by Karl Marx in a series of minor writings, i.e. the ethnological notes written between 1881 and 1882. The purpose is to highlight how in these notes Marx continues the study of Irish society as set out in Book I of Capital (1867), enriching it with a new historical-legal dimension: the study of the Act of Uniformity of 4 July 1605, whereby the British expropriated Irish people from their lands. A measure that marked both the birth of intra-European colonialism and the alliance between social sciences (legal ethnography, political economy) and domination systems.

Abstract

The paper details the critical analysis of the emerging English colonialism in Ireland in the 17th century as elaborated by Karl Marx in a series of minor writings, i.e. the ethnological notes written between 1881 and 1882. The purpose is to highlight how in these notes Marx continues the study of Irish society as set out in Book I of Capital (1867), enriching it with a new historical-legal dimension: the study of the Act of Uniformity of 4 July 1605, whereby the British expropriated Irish people from their lands. A measure that marked both the birth of intra-European colonialism and the alliance between social sciences (legal ethnography, political economy) and domination systems.
