While sectarian violence has greatly diminished on the streets of
Belfast and Derry, proxy battles over the right to define Northern
Ireland's identity through its new symbolic landscapes continue.
Offering a detailed ethnographic account of Northern Ireland's
post-conflict visual transformation, this book examines the
official effort to produce new civic images against a backdrop of
ongoing political and social struggle. Interviews with politicians,
policymakers, community leaders, cultural workers, and residents
shed light on the deeply contested nature of seemingly harmonized
urban landscapes in societies undergoing radical structural change.
Here, the public art process serves as a vital means to
understanding the wider politics of a transforming public sphere in
an age of globalization and transnational connectivity.
