The peace process in Northern Ireland is often posited as the
poster child for successful post-conflict social and political
reform. Yet the sustained cessation of violence and growth of the
middle-class is paralleled by underinvestment and systemic neglect
of those deprived communities most affected by the legacy of the
Troubles, having stark implications on the scope of peacebuilding.
Inequality, Identity, and the Politics of Northern Ireland:
Challenges of Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation examines
how the politics of threat and resentment, undergirded by
persistent poverty and socioeconomic and gender inequalities across
Catholic and Protestant communities shape political conflict, while
at the same time opening up new potential sociopolitical avenues of
resistance and transformation at the community level. Curtis C.
Holland examines how, in the context of rising inequality, emerging
intersectional class/place, gendered, and ethnonational identities
have been manipulated by ethnopolitical entrepreneurs to incite
conflict but can also produce subjectivities through which
alternative visions of "peace" may emerge. The book documents key
discourses and events which contribute to insular ethnic identity
formation and interethnic conflict but also examines how the same
discourses are subject to the agency of citizens, whose reflexivity
on the ethnopolitical manipulation and inequalities faced by their
communities may potentially provide new prospects for social and
political transformation.
