The Outsiders: Exposing the Secretive World of Ireland's Travellers (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Outsiders, first published in 2006, uncovers the secretive world of Irish Travellers where prejudice, crime and a burning loyalty to family, clan and tradition have made the community stand apart.
Eamon Dillon investigates Irish Travellers and their worldwide drive to succeed - a hunger that has taken some Traveller gangs into the realms of fraud, bare-knuckle boxing and violent feuds.
From Bejing to London, The Outsiders reveals illegal operations by successful Irish Travellers, such as the Rathkeale millionaire Traveller traders, the Texan con-artists and the rogue construction workers who plague British and Irish home-owners. They have conquered racism and physical hardship to become modern day pavee princes.
The Outsiders looks at the another side to life as an Irish Traveller, where internal violence is a major problem and murderous feuds can claim the lives of innocent people.
Of an estimated 50,000 Irish Travellers worldwide, some will always refuse to bend to the rules of society because they are The Outsiders.
