In the last generation, Northern Ireland has undergone a tortuous
yet remarkable process of social and political change. This
collection of essays aims to capture the complex and shifting
realities of a society in the process of transition from war to
peace. The book brings together commentators from a range of
academic backgrounds and political perspectives. As well as
focusing upon those political divisions and disputes that are most
readily associated with Northern Ireland, it provides a rather
broader focus than is conventionally found in books on the region.
It examines the cultural identities and cultural practices that are
essential to the formation and understanding of Northern Irish
society but are neglected in academic analyses of the six counties.
While the contributors often approach issues from rather different
angles, they share a common conviction of the need to challenge the
self-serving simplifications and choreographed optimism that
frequently define both official discourse and media commentary on
Northern Ireland. Taken together, the essays offer a comprehensive
and critical account of a troubled society in the throes of change.
