Critics Review
‘Natalie A Zacek provides a sharply contemporary perspective on public debate and identity, deconstructing, inter alia, the ‘Irish Slave’ meme in ‘How the Irish became black’. This invaluable publication disentangles the polarities of subjects and agents, insularity and global dynamics.’Sylvie Kleinman, History Island‘The story of Ireland in Empire cannot be told without reference to the multifaceted nature of Ireland’s role in that Empire and this collection is a vital resource in that regard. It will surely prompt further work not only in relation to Ireland and the Caribbean but also force questions about Ireland’s role elsewhere in the British Empire and beyond. There are essays here that alter our fundamental understanding of Irish Studies and as such this collection is essential for scholars and students alike.’Ellen Howley, Irish Studies Review
