Have a little read: ... John Roderick (763 words) Race was the defining element in nineteenth century perceptions of the Irish "how far is this judgement borne out by the documents?" These sources are exceptionally revealing about nineteenth century perceptions of the Irish. Many of the sources reveal the extent of colonial racism; some of the sources however are pro-Irish. Source A is an extract written by the chairman of the Irish Famine Curriculum Committee, James Mullin, in 1998. From interpreting the author it is clear that the source will be anti- British. It clearly states that race was the defining element in nineteenth century perceptions of the Irish. Mullin says that the British looked on the Irish with "a self conscious sense of Saxon superiority at what they considered to be the childlike and inferior, but dangerous Celtic race." Mullin touches on the area of colonialism, which many Irish Nationalist historians believe was the root of all
