Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eulogy, Upon the Life and Character of General Zachary Taylor: Delivered at the African Church, on the 10th of August, 1850 It is a sad and impressive scene by which we are this day surrounded. Gay banners droop in sorrow; music breathes notes of woe and lamentation; cannon boom with a solemn voice; and tolling bells and sable habiliments add to the melancholy grandeur of the spectacle. It seems but as yesterday, that those banners flouted the breeze as proudly as if they felt upon them the southern gales of 1846, burthened with victory; it seems but as yesterday that that music rang an inspiring march, and every bugle note and every deep-toned drum gave forth almost human notes of joy and exultation; it seems but as yesterday that those grim cannon appeared to recognise a Master's footstep, as their iron throats sent forth a shout of Welcome to the Thunderer of the Rio Grande. And now, how changed! Oh, vain and fleeting world! Oh, breath of human Honor, unstable as the bright cloud that glows in the sunrise, then fades with the mornings breath! Well might a celebrated French orator, pronouncing the funeral oration of a deceased monarch, lay his hand upon the cold brow of departed Royalty and exclaim, "There is nothing great but God!" These insignia of woe, these saddened looks and melancholy sounds, proclaim that a heavy affliction has been visited upon our people. The Head of our nation has fallen! It is for this we wear these weeds of woe, these badges of vassalage to the great King of Terrors. Death, wherever he appears, is a solemn and an awful visitant. Show me the poorest and the darkest hovel in all this land, and Death shall make its meanest couch more painful - its palest cheek more wan - and its deepest midnight more sombre, as it steals some cherished light from the hearth-stone to rekindle it in distant worlds. But when Death thus speaks from some humble and broken household shrine, few men heed or listen to his voice. It is only when he mounts the high eminences of power and place, that mankind are roused to the vanity of all earthly things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...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.
