Unhappy the Land
2016 book by Liam Kennedy / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unhappy the Land: The Most Oppressed People Ever, the Irish? is a 2016 book by Liam Kennedy, professor emeritus at Queen's University, Belfast. Kennedy introduces, as well as criticizes, the concept of "most oppressed people ever" (MOPE)[2] to describe what he sees as a pervasive assumption both among Irish nationalists and the Irish diaspora that Irish people have been uniquely victimised throughout history.[3] Throughout the book he plays devil's advocate while questioning many truisms he perceives as being commonly accepted about Irish history.[2]
