The Story We Carry in Our Bones: Irish History for Americans - Hardback by Juilene Osborne-McKnight

informative medium-paced

2.0

A truly weird book, in that the author wants you to know she’s a professor but that it isn’t an academic work. All anecdotes are stories she attributes to herself (if it’s your book and you don’t credit anyone else, I would assume so.) She also seems to have some wild assertions that I can’t find evidence for like that the kkk were against the Irish. What I could confirm is that they hated Catholics but Irish people are not a monolith and aren’t all catholic. There needs to be citations to back up some of this information or honestly it just sounds racist.
