Faith, Morality and Being Irish A Caring Tradition in Africa

In the minds of many, the nineteenth-century Irish famine seemed to create an environment that later produced an avoidance of marriage, drunkenness, violence, and mental illness. If ever predominant in Irish cultural behavior, those moments have passed. As a result, Professors Philip L. Kilbride and Noel J. J. Farley outline the positive contributions the contemporary Irish make to the world around them, particularly Africa. From this, generosity emerges as a major Irish cultural virtue. The authors trace it from the Celtic period, showing how it became a central concern of Roman Catholics from the nineteenth-century to today.Kilbride, Philip is the author of 'Faith, Morality and Being Irish A Caring Tradition in Africa', published 2007 under ISBN 9780761837596 and ISBN 0761837590.
