In contemporary Northern Ireland, more than two decades after the
peace agreement that ended the thirty-year sectarian violence known
as "the Troubles" the risk of a return to violent conflict is not
only present but growing. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork,
comparative research, and over 110 hours of face-to-face interviews
with a diverse range of political, academic, civil society, and
community actors across Northern Ireland, A Troubled Sleep revisits
one of the world's most deeply divided societies to analyze
Northern Ireland's current vulnerabilities, and points of
resilience, as an allegedly "post-conflict" society. By examining
the Northern Ireland example, Waller presents deep insight into
what happens when identity politics prevail over democracy, when a
paralysis in governance leads to a political vacuum for extremist
voices to exploit, when de facto social segregation becomes
normalized, when acclimatization to violence becomes a generational
legacy, and when questions of who we are become secondary to who we
are not.
