The Irish potato blight, a story mostly forgotten, brings to the surface more than just potatoes. A great famine that had more than 1 million deaths and 2 millions of people that left the country. It is very sad and disturbing but so real and unfair. ( ) A thorough study of the period of history known as the Great Irish Famine (or in Ireland, the Great Hunger). Bartoletti conducted a great deal of research in Ireland finding primary documents, so she is able to talk about this horrible period in history with the addition of the real experience of actual people. Across ten chapters, readers learn about the events and conditions that unraveled between 1845 and 1850. One part of the tragedy of the potato blight is the economic conditions of Ireland at the time; much of the farmland was owned by English landlords, and the farmers sold certain cash crops to pay the rent. They never kept those cash crops and subsisted on potatoes alone. When the potatoes were inedible, the conditions grew dire around the country. Bartoletti covers all of this and more of the details in an approachable way and with accompanying 19th century drawings. The story of the Great Irish Famine, from the point of view of the Irish people. This story tells how they lived, why their lives depended on the potato, how they dreaded the workhouse, and how they feared and defied the landlord who collected the rent and evicted them. I would have this book in my classroom library because it teaches about an important part of history in Europe as well as the resulting immigration of many thousands of Irish people to America back in the 1800’s. This book is about the great Irish Potato Famine. Eyewitness accounts and memories combine with devastating facts: one million died from starvation and disease; two million emigrated; the famine could have been avoided; the legacy was a bitter resentment against the English, who owned most of Ireland. This book can be used with grades 4th - 7th. This book can be used to teach about the great potato famine, immigration, Ireland, and the 19th century. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
