Book Description
This book represents an introduction to the history of the English colonization of Ireland from a post-colonial perspective with emphasis given to why writers wrote what they did about the Irish. The language of inferiority used by the English about the Irish was an important element in their colonial mission, used to justify their oppression of their Celtic neighbor and set the stage for a racialized view of the Irish.
