Jump To Comment: 1This book isn't too bad. I got it last month. Nothing really new or exciting in it though, a lot is mention of other studies or reports. The O Connell stuff is interesting enough. I'm sure there must be a lot more info out there on ethnic minorities in Ireland in historical times, in biographies, newspapers, etc., someone just needs to take the time to dig it out.
It also mentions that in the 18th century Dublin had the second largest Black population in these Islands (outside of London), but no indication what this was in actual numbers.
My main criticism is the cost. The book is really only a pamphlet but costs 11 euro in Easons, which is a bit of a rip off.
