The Simianizing of the Irish
Some scholars question if there was an Irish Holocaust, a British genocide of epic proportions that killed millions of innocent Irish people:
A home in Belfast tells the tale of the Irish genocide
But how to you convince the British population that the Irish are animals, not entitled to humane treatment? The word for the day is “simianification”, literally making a monkey out of the Irish people:
The irishman as inhuman
The Irish Chimp
The British Lion vs. the Irish monkey
The Irishman: a caged animal at the circus
The Irishman wears a chamber pot on his head
Heavily annotated and rich with examples, de Nie coins the word “simianification”, to describe how the British dehumanized the Irish. In the days of slavery, this image says it all, the Irish are pictured as chattel, another inferior chimpanzee-like race to be enslaved:
Why the Irish should be enslaved
This is a great book for anyone of Irish Ancestry, a must-read to understand the British depiction of the Irish people as sub-human.
