Using key perspectives from Linguistic anthropology the book
illuminates how social actors take up the ideals of law, equality,
and democratic representation in locally-meaningful ways to make
their own national history in ways that may perpetuate violence and
inequality. Focusing specifically on post-war conditions in
Ireland, the author contextualizes commonplace practices by which
citizens are made to learn the gap between official membership in
and political belonging to a democratic state. Each chapter takes
up a different aspect of state authority and power to constitute
citizenship, to enact laws, to mediate conflict, and to create
histories in the context of social inequalities and political
hostilities. This book is an excellent ethnographic addition to
courses in linguistic anthropology, giving readers the opportunity
to explore applications and ramifications of key theoretical text
within research.
