As politicians, public bodies and non-Governmental organisations
continue to profess an interest in making peace with the past, this
highly original study explores the motivation, significance and
legacy of 'making public' experiences of state violence in Northern
Ireland. Based on a synthesis of documentary material with the
findings from a series of contemporary interviews, this timely book
uncovers the reasoning behind many Republican former detainees'
accounts of state violence and torture. It examines the aims of
those who 'went public' during the conflict and discusses the
meaning they attached to their stories and the various responses to
them. It also identifies some of the risks involved in criticising
the violence of the British State and illuminates the ways in which
'truths' are often contested in Northern Ireland - both during the
conflict and in the years which have followed. A unique piece of
interdisciplinary work, the study disentangles and evaluates the
discourses presented by former detainees and makes an innovative
and interesting contribution to knowledge about transitional
justice and legacies of state violence. The book is suitable for
social science scholars interested in human rights, state violence,
criminology and transitional justice, as well as those seeking to
understand more about experiences of imprisonment and the legacy of
the Northern Ireland conflict.
