Скачать или смотреть Settler Colonialism in Ireland

English colonization did not begin in America, it started in Ireland. Long before they tried to root out indigenous people in America, England attempted to wipe out the Irish. Under Queen Elizabeth I, England invaded Ireland. Villages were burned. Crops destroyed. Families killed. Survivors were forced onto reservations. The English claimed the land was “vacant.” They claimed the Irish Catholics were inferior—uncivilized, pagan, and unfit to own land or govern themselves. They labeled them "savages." Sound familiar?
