Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
For many years, English authorities dealt with the Irish by enslaving them, selling them, and turning them into someone else's property or burden. Readers who assume that only Africans and other Black peoples were held in bondage in Barbados, the West Indies and the American colonies should think again. This nonfiction account brings to light a largely forgotten chapter, showing how Irish men, women and children were taken, sold and worked to the bone across the Atlantic world.
