This book uncovers a new genre of 'post-Agreement literature',
consisting of a body of texts - fiction, poetry and drama - by
Northern Irish writers who grew up during the Troubles but
published their work in the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement.
In an attempt to demarcate the literary-aesthetic parameters of the
genre, the book proposes a selective revision of postcolonial
theories on 'liminality' through a subset of concepts such as
'negative liminality', 'liminal suspension' and 'liminal
permanence.' These conceptual interventions, as the readings
demonstrate, help articulate how the Agreement's rhetorical
negation of the sectarian past and its aggressive neoliberal
campaign towards a 'progressive' future breed new forms of violence
that produce liminally suspended subject positions.
