Book Description
Excerpt from The Cause of Ireland, Pleaded Before the Civilized World No Irish-American who has followed, with anything like a kindly interest, the sufferings and struggles of the Irish at home during the last fifty years, but must have asked himself if these sufferings were never to end, or if such struggles were, at length, to be crowned by the long-prayed-for success. Yes - we have been long waiting, in our free homes beyond the Atlantic, for the end of these awful trials, prolonged century after century down to the present year, and borne with a fortitude and a hopefulness, which speak more eloquently than inspired voice or pen for the heroic temper of the Irish soul. We have contributed by word and deed, as the trial deepened, and the struggle became ever fiercer, to soothe the suffering whose source we were powerless to remove, and to aid the brave men and true who were battling for the cause of the Martyr-Nation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ireland of to-Day: The Causes and Aims of Irish Agitation The portion which treats of the establishment of peasant proprietary in other European countries will be found particularly curious and valuable; while the description of the home-life of the Irish cottier farmer, who held his little farm from day to day at the will of his landlord, from whom he had no lease and who could raise his rent a dozen times a day if he so chose, will be found a social picture without a parallel in any other part of the globe. The advantages of the Land Acts of 1870 and 1881 are fairly and fully presented. The illustrations include portraits of the principal leaders of the agita tion, with scenes and places prominently identified with it.

The Patriot's History of Ireland (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 332
Book Description
Excerpt from The Patriot's History of Ireland I Have been asked to write a short, concise History of Ireland for the benefit of those who have not time to read a larger work, and for the use of schools, as an Introduction to Irish History. I have complied with this request; but the reader should remember that it requires some care and thought to understand a history written with care and thought, and that, while "stories" about Ireland may amuse, and rudely-written rhymes may excite, it requires something higher, something of which Irishmen are specially capable, to enable them to like and to profit by what requires some study. This History is intended for thoughtful men and women, as well as for thoughtful boys and girls. It contains the result of many years' careful and anxious study, given to the reader in the form in which, as I hope, it will be most easily understood and remembered. It is not intended to take the place of a larger History, nor is it intended for the senior classes in colleges; for such use a larger work, containing more general information, given in the form best suited for students, is now ready.

How the Irish Saved Civilization
Author: Thomas CahillPublisher: Anchor

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A book in the best tradition of popular history—the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. • The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift! Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars"—and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost—they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.

Book Description
'...from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.
