Ireland's unique position as the only state in the European Union
to have been colonised, coupled with the ambivalent experiences of
Irish people within the British Empire, means that issues of 'race'
in Ireland are overlaid by complex social and historical forces.
This book is a unique analysis of the racialisation of Irish
identities. The author examines key phases in the historical
development of an Irish 'racial' consciousness, including 16th
century colonisation and 19th century immigration to America and
Great Britain. He then examines the legacy of this relationship,
both in terms of the new migration into Ireland and relations with
indigenous minorities -- travellers and Irish Jews. Garner explores
the problematic links between nationalist ideologies and racism. He
assesses the economic, social and political factors framing the
experience of minorities in contemporary Ireland, and places these
in a broader European context.
