Africa and Blackness in the Irish Imagination

Jul 01 2020 Posted: 11:04 IST

Dr Fiona Bateman writes about Ireland and Racism. "Here in Ireland the issue of racism is also being discussed. A large part of the debate has centred on the treatment of asylum seekers in Direct Provision centres, but we have also seen an outpouring of stories of personal experiences from Black and mixed-race people of all ages, indicating that Ireland is not immune to racism."
