The Good Friday Agreement is widely celebrated as a political
success story, one that has brought peace to a region that was once
synonymous around the globe with political violence. The truth, as
ever, is rather more complicated than that. In many respects, the
era of the peace process has seen Northern Irish society change
almost beyond recognition. Those incidents of politically motivated
violence that were once commonplace have become thankfully rare and
a new generation has emerged whose identities and interests are
rather more fluid and cosmopolitan than those of their
predecessors. However, Northern Ireland continues to operate in the
long shadow of its own turbulent past. Those who were victims of
violence, as well as those who were its agents, have often been
consigned to the margins of a society still struggling to cope with
the traumas of the Troubles. Furthermore, the transition to 'peace'
has revealed the existence of new, and not so new, forms of
violence in Northern Irish society, directed towards women, ethnic
minorities and the poor. Northern Ireland a generation after Good
Friday sets out to capture the complex, and often contradictory,
realities that have emerged more than two decades on from the
region's vaunted peace deal. Across nine original essays, the
authors offer a critical and comprehensive reading of a society
that often appears to have left its violent past behind but at the
same time remains subject to its gravitational pull. -- .
