Paris, Jerusalem and Belfast are cities that are shaped by
political violence, death and the injustices caused by segregated
living. But divided cities are becoming places within which policy
makers and politicians project an image of normality despite the
facts of social injustice, victimhood and harm. It is a commonly
held view that the city of Belfast is emerging out of conflict and
into a new era of tolerance and transformation. This book
challenges this viewpoint. The authors pinpoint how international
peace accords, such as the Belfast Agreement, are gradually eroded
as conflict shifts into a stale and repetitive pattern of
ethnically-divided competition over resources. This book is a vivid
portrait of how segregation, lived experience and fear are linked
in a manner that undermines democratic accountability. It argues
that the control of place remains the most important weapon in the
politicisation of communities and the reproduction of political
violence. Segregation provides the laboratory within which
sectarianism continues to grow.
