Back in 1996, while browsing through the Marxism section at Labyrinth
Books near Columbia University, where I was working as a programmer at
the time, I spotted a book that stopped me dead in my tracks. Titled
“How the Irish Became White” and written by Noel Ignatiev, it did not
just promise to be about a particular ethnic group’s embrace of white
supremacy but how all whites enjoy privileges that help to keep the
working class divided. I purchased the book, took it home and read it
over the next couple of days. It remains one of the most important
studies of class and race I have ever read.
