The article may be satire but The book is real http://www.amazon.com/Irish-Became-White...0415963095
as is the praise from the chair of afro american studies.
It might be satire but I think it says enough when a jewish author and a black chair of afro american studies can celebrate a book that says that the irish rose to acceptance on the backs of other minorities.
I'd love to read it but the summary and comments come across as "oh the irish never had it that hard because of their skin colour"
Can you imagine an irish american writing a book that says "oh slavery wasn't so hard for black americans". Neither can I, and thats the state of affairs in north america.
