The deep and abiding sectarian divide splintering Northern Ireland
has been the focus of considerable attention recently. In
particular, the role parades and visual displays play in
underscoring opposition has come into the spotlight with the
emergence of heightened tensions, close on the heels of a tentative
peace. Providing penetrating insights into the historical roots of
Northern Ireland's ethnic hostilities, this timely book explores
the role of images and material culture in shaping present
attitudes. Ritual, identity, class and memory are shown to be
potent forces informing trenchant animosities -- animosities which
are visually reflected in banners and murals for unionists and
nationalists alike. The pivotal role of the Twelfth of July parade
in Belfast, when an estimated 100,000 either parade or watch the
Orangemen, is highlighted. Anyone interested in the future of
Northern Ireland and concerned about escalating conflict across the
globe will warmly welcome this impressive study.
