Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book encapsulates the author's firsthand account of the Irish famine in the late 1800s, primarily focusing on the Mayo district, infamous for being one of the poorest and most distressed areas. The author interacts with priests and locals to gain insight into the extent of the poverty and its impact on families. The author's viewpoint tackles the societal and political reasons for the famine, exposing the exploitation of Irish tenants by mostly absentee landlords during the period. It considers the concept of land tenure in Ireland and its contrast with the English system, along with the historical context of Irish landownership, which contributes to the complex socio-economic issues the author seeks to untangle. Through the exploration of the Irish peasantry's resilience and spirit, this book emphasizes the need to address the underlying causes of poverty and social injustice. Its insights into the historical complexities of landownership and the devastating effects of famine remain relevant today, making this an essential read for those interested in understanding the historical roots of social inequality and the importance of addressing its consequences.
