Black and Green The Fight for Civil Rights in Northern Ireland & Black America by Brian Dooley

This book traces historic ties between political activists in Black America and Ireland, showing how the struggle for civil rights in the U.S. helped shape campaigns against discrimination in Northern Ireland. Focusing on the 1960s, Dooley explores how Northern Irish protesters drew inspiration from the American South, forging links with the Black Panther Party and adopting tactics such as non-violent marches and sit-ins. 192pp. Publisher: Pluto Press.
