Book Description

Publication Date: 20 Mar 1997 | ISBN-10: 0745310745 | ISBN-13: 978-0745310749
'One of the outstanding historians of modern Ireland ... Anyone who wants to understand the making of modern Ireland should read Kinealy's book.' Irish Democrat

'Tremendous ... An invaluable addition to that small collection of books which help us look at ourselves through our own eyes, giving us the right to feel hurt and angry, a right taken away from us, and which still, sadly, has to be fought for.' Andersonstown News

Famine expert Christine Kinealy examines the influences that shaped the responses to the Famine of 1845-52. The key factors she analyses include political ideologies; providentialist ideas that read the potato blight as a judgement from God; opportunistic interpretations; the role of civil servants, Irish landlords and merchants.

I bought this book due to my interest in Irish history. The book was OK as a text book but didnt meet my needs as a person with a general interest. I wanted an unbiased truth but not in a text book syle.
