Download or read book Ireland Africa and the end of empire written by Kevin O'Sullivan and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty years after Ireland joined the UN in 1955, one subject dominated its fortunes: Africa. The first detailed study of Ireland’s relationship with that continent, this book documents its special place in Irish history. Adopting a highly original, and strongly comparative approach, it shows how small and middling powers like Ireland, Canada, the Netherlands and the Nordic states used Africa to shape their position in the international system, and how their influence waned with the rise of the Afro-Asian bloc. O’Sullivan chronicles Africa’s impact on Irish foreign policy; the link between African decolonisation and Irish post-colonial identity; and the missionaries, aid workers, diplomats, peacekeepers, and anti-apartheid protesters at the heart of Irish popular understanding of the developing world. Offering a fascinating account of small state diplomacy, and a unique perspective on African decolonisation, this book provides essential insight for scholars of Irish history, African history, international relations, and the history of NGOs, as well as anyone interested in Africa’s important place in the Irish public imagination.
Download or read book Irish Apartheid written by Sara Burke and published by New Island Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health services are at the top of the public and political agenda in Ireland. They dominate media coverage, incite passion and protests, and either enable or prevent people from living longer, healthier lives. Yet much of the rhetoric and discussion is confused; much of the spin inaccurate. Most people are unable to understand why the Irish health system is the way it is. This book demystifies and explains health services in Ireland. Going beyond the political rhetoric and media hysteria, it provides an understanding of this byzantine, unequal, dysfunctional system. The book exposes the apartheid that characterizes healthcare in Ireland, drawing on ordinary people's experiences, interviews with health professionals, and policy documents. Irish Apartheid should be required reading for policymakers, politicians, and health professionals.

Book excerpt: 'Young shopworkers on Henry Street in Dublin, who in 1984 refused to handle the fruits of apartheid, provided me with great hope during my years of imprisonment, and inspiration to millions of South Africans.' Nelson Mandela Dunnes Stores cashier Mary Manning knew little about apartheid when, at the age of twenty-one, she refused to register the sale of two Outspan South African grapefruits under a directive from her union. She was suspended and nine of her co-workers walked out in support. They all assumed they would shortly return to work. But theirs were kindling voices, on the cusp of igniting a mass movement they couldn't even imagine. Despite harassment from the Gardaí and disparagement from the Irish government and even the Catholic Church, they refused to be silenced. Within months they were embroiled in a dispute that captured the world's attention. In this searing account, Mary tells the extraordinary story of their public fight for justice, as well as her emotive journey of discovery into her family's past. Mary's mother had been forced to carry a secret burden of shame for her whole life by the same oppressive establishment Mary was fighting. Striking Back is a provocative and inspiring story that epitomises the resilience of hope and the human spirit, even under the most formidable of circumstances. It shows that each of us has the power to change the world.

Book excerpt: While the Irish occupied a rich and fertile land, they were not Anglo-Saxons or Normans but Gaelic Celts; they were not Protestants, but Catholics. This was the cocktail of factors which led to the conquest, colonisation, and destruction of Celtic Ireland. What many do not know is that a great deal of Ireland's history mirrors the colonial history of Africa. It is almost as if the Irish experience was a dress rehearsal for what the West inflicted on Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, except the agony of Ireland lasted a millennium. Many believe that brutal conquest and colonialism along with racial discrimination and apartheid only happened to Africans and that it happened because they are Africans, because they are black. When they are confronted by the trauma of the Irish - who were not Africans and not black - it makes it easier to understand Africa's trauma in the wider context of world history. 'The Trauma We Share' examines the parallels between Irish and African history to allow both to view their histories from an intriguing new perspective. The history of Ireland is bitter but at the same time heroic. Full of colourful and dramatic events, it makes gripping reading. A book both Irish and African readers will enjoy.

Book excerpt: No conflicts have captured the consciousness and the conscience of the international community in quite the same sustained and dramatic way as the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, the "troubles" in Northern Ireland, and the battle between Jews and Arabs for possession of the Holy Land. This book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of these conflicts and presents the views of seventeen acknowledged authorities. It examines key themes--dominant group values, the role of the security forces, armed struggle, reform and revolution--and explores problematic concepts such as nationalism, ethno-nationalism, and the mythology of struggle. It also presents case studies of the three societies in question.
