Joyce's politics is reflected in his attitude toward his British passport. He wrote about the negative effects of English occupation in Ireland and was sympathetic to the attempts of the Irish to free themselves from it.[344] In 1907, he expressed his support for the early Sinn Féin movement before Irish independence.[345] However, throughout his life, Joyce refused to exchange his British passport for an Irish one.[346] When he had a choice, he opted to renew his British passport in 1935 instead of obtaining one from the Irish Free State,[347][an] and he chose to keep it in 1940 when accepting an Irish passport could have helped him to more easily leave Vichy France.[349] His refusal to change his passport was partly due to the advantages that a British passport gave him internationally,[350] his being out of sympathy with the violence of Irish politics,[351] and his dismay with the Irish Free State's political relationship with the church.[352][ao]
