Black Abolitionists in Ireland
Author: Christine Kinealy
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003859925
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Building on the narratives explored in volume one, this publication recovers the story of a further seven Black visitors to Ireland in the decades prior to the American Civil War. This volume examines each of these seven activists and artists, and how their unique and diverse talents contributed to the movement to abolish enslavement and to the demand for Black equality. In an era that witnessed the rise of minstrelsy, they provided a powerful counter argument to the lie of Black inferiority. Moreover, their interactions with Irish abolitionists helped to build a strong transatlantic movement that had a global reach and impact. The lives explored are: Ira Aldridge (the African Roscius), William Henry Lane (Master Juba), William P. Powell, Elizabeth Greenfield (the Black Swan), Reuben Nixon, James Watkins and William H. Day. Individually and collectively they demonstrated the agency and power of Black involvement in the search for social justice. This book will be of value to students and scholars alike interested in modern European history and social and cultural history.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Congregations of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and Biographical Notices of Eminent Presbyterian Ministers and Laymen: With the Signification of Names of Places The greater part of the information contained in the work now presented to the public, was collected by the Rev. J. S. Reid, D.D., before his appointment as Professor of Ecclesiastical and Civil History in the University of Glasgow. For the twenty years preceding, his attention had been specially directed to the rise and progress of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland; and he had enjoyed special facilities for becoming acquainted with its condition. He had travelled through most parts of our Northern Province; had gathered up the traditions of the Presbyterian inhabitants; had carefully examined the manuscript records of the Synod of Ulster; and had noted down, in a little volume which he usually carried about with him, every important fact or date which helped to guide him in his investigations. Shortly after his decease, I undertook, at the request of his executors, to complete his unfinished History; and this manuscript book was put into my hands to assist me in the work. I found that it contained a brief account of the congregations of the Synod of Ulster, arranged in alphabetical order; and as, for many reasons, it appeared very undesirable that the rare knowledge it supplied should be lost to the public, I suggested to the proprietor of M'Comb's Presbyterian Almanac that he should permit me to introduce some extracts from it, year after year, into his well-known annual. He adopted the advice; and thus it has been that for upwards of thirty years past these notices have been continued in that publication. They are now collected together; and, with not a few additions, are to be found in the present volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Forgetful Remembrance
Author: Guy Beiner
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191066338
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 728
Book Description
Forgetful Remembrance examines the paradoxes of what actually happens when communities persistently endeavour to forget inconvenient events. The question of how a society attempts to obscure problematic historical episodes is addressed through a detailed case study grounded in the north-eastern counties of the Irish province of Ulster, where loyalist and unionist Protestants—and in particular Presbyterians—repeatedly tried to repress over two centuries discomfiting recollections of participation, alongside Catholics, in a republican rebellion in 1798. By exploring a rich variety of sources, Beiner makes it possible to closely follow the dynamics of social forgetting. His particular focus on vernacular historiography, rarely noted in official histories, reveals the tensions between professed oblivion in public and more subtle rituals of remembrance that facilitated muted traditions of forgetful remembrance, which were masked by a local culture of reticence and silencing. Throughout Forgetful Remembrance, comparative references demonstrate the wider relevance of the study of social forgetting in Northern Ireland to numerous other cases where troublesome memories have been concealed behind a veil of supposed oblivion.
