Twenty years on from her critically acclaimed book, Northern
Protestants: An Unsettled People, Susan McKay talks again to the
people she 'uneasily' called 'her own', those from a Protestant
background in Northern Ireland. Against the backdrop of social
justice movements, Brexit, the centenary of the foundation of the
Northern Ireland state, and the prospect of a poll on Irish Unity,
McKay interviews a wide range of people from all over Northern
Ireland. They include students, politicians, ex-security force
members, victims and survivors, former paramilitaries, business
people, religious leaders, community workers, writers and many
others. She seeks to understand how the Northern Protestant
community is negotiating the 'shifting ground' on which it stands.
She gives space to the Lundys, those who find in banishment the
freedom to grow. The result is a vivid and multi-layered portrait
of a surprisingly diverse and fluid community. Written with McKay's
trademark passion and conviction, and full of vulnerable and
valiant testimony, this book is compelling, essential reading. A
fascinating and constantly thought-provoking book. Sean O'Hagan,
Observer Seamlessly weaves together personal stories and political
events with deep emotional intelligence ... Vital reading in all
senses of the word. Claire Mitchell, Irish Times
