In America, we pride ourselves on being a land To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland immigrants, but forgotten to our text books is how those who came here were not welcome with open arms, and in fact the Irish, in particular, were demonized by the Anglo-Protestant groups that ran the country. We Irish have been considered a second class race for most of our history, and yet have contributed so much to the world, including the building of much of it, albeit as endentured servants. Not that this experience is isolated to the Irish. Sadly several ethnic groups were and often still are treated as inferior. To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland for the rant.

Beach at Bathsheeba by IrishMBO Another way of getting rid of lots of native Irish men, women and children was by sending them as indentured servants to Barbados. Far from being the slightly upmarket tourist destination that Barbados is today, a trip to Barbados in the 17 th century was nothing less than a death sentence. He points out that, as indentured service was nominally for a fixed period of time, usually 7 years, the plantation owners had little interest in the long-term well-being or health of their indentured servants.

This is the perfect To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland book for children living in Irish American Book Company. To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland by Sean O'Callaghan The Irish slaves myth is a pseudohistory that falsely conflates the penal transportation and indentured servitude of Irish people during the 17th and 18th centuries with the hereditary chattel slavery experience of Africans. Some white nationalistsand others who want to minimize the effects of hereditary chattel slavery on Africans and their descendants, have used this false equivalence to promote racism against African Americans [1] or claim that African Americans are too vocal in seeking justice. The myth has been in circulation since at least the s and has been disseminated in online memes and social media debates. According to historian Liam Kennedythe idea of Irish slavery was popular among the nineteenth-century Young Ireland movement. John Mitchel was particularly vocal in his claim that the Irish were enslaved, although he supported the transatlantic slave trade of Africans. Some books have used the term "slaves" for captive Irish people forced from their homes in Ireland and shipped overseas, against their will, to the New World[8] particularly the British Colonies. To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland usual period of indenture for an Irish person was from four years to nine years, after which they were free — able to travel freely, own property, make a living, and accumulate wealth. Additionally, the free Irish person could now marry whom they chose and their children were born into freedom. However, for centuries, Irish folklore or various books had referred to the captive servants as Irish "slaves" even into the 20th century. During the 17th century, tens of thousands of British and Irish indentured servants immigrated to British America. The majority of these entered into indentured servitude in the Americas for a set number of years willingly in order to pay their way across the Atlantic, but at least 10, were transported as punishment for rebellion against English rule in Ireland or for other crimes, then subjected to forced labour for a To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland period. During this same period, the Atlantic slave trade was enslaving millions of Africans and bringing them to the Americas, including the British colonies, where they were put to work. In Ireland, Africa, and in the Caribbean, Irish people benefited from the African trade, as slave merchants, factors, investors, and owners. According to historian Nini Rodgers, "every group in Ireland produced merchants who benefited from the slave trade and the expanding slave colonies. Common elements to memes To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland propagate the myth are: [4] [5] [13]. An Irish Times article notes that: "[Irish] republicans are intent on To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland direct parallels between the experiences of black people under slavery and of Irish people under British rule. In the Dublin Review of Booksprofessor Bryan Fanning states: "The popularity of the 'Irish slaves' meme cannot simply be blamed on the online propaganda of white supremacist groups. There are several elements at play beyond the deliberate falsification of the past. Hoffman II who blamed Jews for the African slave trade. Other authors repeated these lurid descriptions of Irish women being compelled to have sex with African men, [19] [20] which have no basis in the historical record. From there, it took off. The article on Globalresearch. The myth has been a common trope on the white supremacist website Stormfront since In Augustthe meme was referred to in the context of debates about the continued flying of the Confederate flagfollowing the Charleston church shooting. Irish Times columnist Donald Clarke describes the meme as racist, saying "More commonly we see racists using the myth to belittle the suffering visited on black slaves and to siphon some sympathy towards their own clan. Several online articles about "Irish slaves" substituted the African victims of the Zong massacre with Irish victims. Sean O'Callaghan's book To Hell or Barbados in particular has been criticised by, among others, Dr Nini Rodgers, who stated that his narrative appeared to arise from his horror at seeing white people being on a level with blacks. Historian Mark Auslander, an anthropologist and director of the Museum of Culture and Environment at Central Washington Universitystates that the current racial climate is leaning toward denial of certain events in history, saying "There is a strange war on memory that's going To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland right now, denying the facts of chattel slavery, or claiming to have learned on Facebook or social media that, say, Irish slavery was worse, that white people were enslaved as well.

Doyle*, Clíodhna Murphy, Muiread Murphy, Pablo Rojas Coppari and Rachel J. Wechsler Although the law relating to ‘modern slavery’ has received increased attention in recent years, the perspectives of labour trafficking victims rarely feature in the literature. The article explores how this vulnerable group experiences the Irish anti-trafficking regime in practice. Drawing on 15 semi-structured interviews, it shows that victims of labour trafficking in Ireland receive minimal assistance from the State at every stage of the trafficking cycle, from prevention and identification to seeking redress for harms suffered. The lived experiences of the participants cut across the spheres of employment, criminal and immigration law, stretching well beyond the ‘silo’ of the anti-trafficking framework. The article concludes by suggesting that victims’ perspectives are an essential part of evidence-based policy responses to the multi-faceted phenomenon of severe labour exploitation, as well as a comprehensive analytical framework. It agrees that existing critiques of the anti-traf- ficking paradigm are well-founded, but argues that they should also take account of the practical benefits for individuals who are granted ‘victim of trafficking’ status.

Groome Abstract What does it mean to “be church”? How can we foster a sense of collective faith identity through religious education? What resources can we draw upon in this endeavor? I propose that the authentic early Irish Church offers insights that add to the field of religious education by suggesting that religious educators focus on forming persons in faith to be Christians both within a community of believers and in the world. Doing so not only enriches the individual, but also invigorates the Church and allows it to reclaim its voice in the twenty-first century public square. This thesis suggests an approach to religious education rooted in the example of the early Irish tradition yet pertinent to the contemporary desire for faith, spirituality and community.

  • Reply from Ireland to the Questionnaire for the Evaluation Of
    Strasbourg, 24 November 2016 GRETA(2016)24 Reply from Ireland to the Questionnaire for the evaluation of the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings by the Parties Second evaluation round (Reply submitted on 20 July 2016) 2 GRETA(2016)24 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction In accordance with Article 38, paragraph 1, of the Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, GRETA evaluates the implementation of the Convention following a procedure divided into rounds. At the beginning of each round, GRETA selects the specific provisions on which the evaluation procedure is based. GRETA has decided that the second evaluation round of the Convention will start on 15 May 2014. For the second evaluation round, GRETA has adopted a questionnaire to be sent to all states parties which have undergone the first round of evaluation, following a timetable approved by GRETA. States parties are requested to transmit to GRETA a reply to this questionnaire within five months from the date it was sent. Following a first round of monitoring, which provided an overview of the implementation of the Convention by each state party, GRETA has decided to examine during the second evaluation round the impact of legislative, policy and practical measures on the prevention of trafficking, the protection of the rights of victims of trafficking, and the prosecution of traffickers. The adoption of a human rights-based approach to action against trafficking in human beings remains at the centre of this new evaluation round. In addition, particular attention is paid to measures taken to address new trends in human trafficking and the vulnerability of children to trafficking.

Their different functions and roles—such as concubines, domestic and agricultural labourers, captives, rebels, and sacrificial victims— addressed different societal demands. In this thesis, such functions and roles are analyzed through the examination of the evidence from three related regions, namely Northwestern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Scandinavia. These regional examinations rely on Viking Age written texts and archaeological evidence, as well as other sources that pertain to the period, such as the saga materials. Textual sources from Northwestern Europe, such as the Annals of Ulster and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, provide a Christian perspective on the Scandinavian raids and settlements in the region. The Arab writers, such as Ibn Fadlān and Ibn Rusta, provide information about the Eastern Vikings known as Rūs and their interactions with slaves.
