The first part of this chapter’s title paraphrases the key sentence from a sermon in which a Presbyterian minister compared southern Protestants to the ancient Hebrews in their Babylonian exile, and in particular to Daniel, who kept his windows – and mind – open towards the Promised Land. Applied to minorities in interwar Ireland, it was both an exhortation and a statement: Irish Protestants and Jews looked beyond Ireland’s shores for their inspiration, like exiles groaning for a promised land. Inherently transnational groups such as Jews and Irish Protestants generated explicitly internationalist politics, accompanied by a rhetoric of social reform at home, often by means of ecumenical endeavour. While both internationalism and social reform were inspired by the then widespread revulsion against the First World War, for most people there was a persistent attachment to the British Empire and a desire to express it without provoking a republican backlash. The chapter’s last part examines minority internationalism as it engaged with the ultimate secular utopia of their day – the Soviet Union – or, rather, the way it was perceived and represented by admirers like Sean O’Casey and Rosamond Jacob.
