A Popular History of Ireland (Vol 1&2) - From the Earliest Period to the Emancipation of the Catholics (Complete Edition)

Thomas D'Arcy McGee

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "A Popular History of Ireland (Vol. 1 & 2)", Thomas D'Arcy McGee presents a comprehensive and accessible recounting of the Irish experience, spanning from ancient times to the 17th century. Employing a narrative style that melds vivid storytelling with scholarly rigor, McGee adeptly interweaves historical events with cultural insights, providing readers with a multifaceted view of Irish identity. His work reflects the Romantic literary movement's emphasis on nationalism and the valorization of the folk narrative, all while positioning Ireland's history within the broader context of European developments. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, an influential Irish nationalist politician and advocate of Irish unity, was profoundly shaped by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his time. Born in 1825 in Ireland and later emigrating to Canada, McGee's experiences as an immigrant and his commitment to the Irish cause fueled his desire to document and commemorate the rich heritage of his homeland. His scholarship was driven not only by a need for preservation but also by a vision of aspiration for Ireland's future as a sovereign entity. This work is highly recommended for those seeking a deeper understanding of Ireland'Äôs past through a lens that celebrates its cultural richness and complexity. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find McGee's compelling narrative an essential resource that bridges the gap between scholarly history and popular understanding.

Freedom Riders The: The History...

Editors Charles River

After a 1960 Supreme Court decision in Boynton v. Virginia, bus segregation was made illegal on new grounds: it violated the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, by regulating the movement of people across state lines. With this victory in hand, the Freedom Rides of 1961 began. Organized primarily by a new group – the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) – the Freedom Rides followed the same guidance that inspired the Montgomery Boycott and the Greensboro Sit-Ins – non-violent direct action. The purpose of the Freedom Rides was the test the Supreme Court's decision by riding from Virginia to Louisiana on integrated busses. This was notably the first major Civil Rights event that included a large segment of white participants.
Mobs in places like Birmingham and Montgomery firebombed buses and brutally beat the Freedom Riders, sending dozens to the hospital. Mob violence, orchestrated by the KKK and their segregationist allies, erupted endlessly throughout the summer. White activists, who were viewed by the Ku Klux Klan as betraying their race, took the worst beatings of all.
Both black and white Northerners had participated in the Freedom Rides, and civil rights activists sought other ways to harness their energy and activism in 1963. After the Freedom Rides, civil rights leaders initiated voter registration drives that could help register black voters and build community organizations that could help make their votes count. The momentum generated by the Freedom Rides and the following activism would lead to the famous March on Washington and eventually the passage of a historic civil rights bill in 1964.
