This volume examines the critical factors and processes by which
the Provisional Irish Republican movement campaign from 1969 to
1998 transformed a once acquiescent nationalist population in
Northern Ireland into a counterpublic of resistance demanding
national self-determination and social justice. Considering the
establishment of Irish Republican community institutions, prison
protests, Republican Feminism, and Provisional IRA media and
communications, this volume explores the emergence of Republicanism
as a mass social movement in the nationalist Catholic ghettos and
rural regions of Northern Ireland in the 1970s - a development that
helped to sustain the armed struggle of the Provisional Irish
Republican Army for three decades. An examination of the emergence
and transformative power of the counterpublic discourse and action
of the Irish Republican movement, this volume provides a framework
for conceptualizing counterpublics in social movement studies. As
such it will appeal to scholars of sociology, history, and politics
with interests in social movements and mobilization.

Learning behind Bars is an oral history of former Irish republican
prisoners in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland between
1971, the year internment was introduced, and 2000, when the
high-security Long Kesh Detention Centre/HM Prison Maze closed.
Dieter Reinisch outlines the role of politically motivated
prisoners in ending armed conflicts as well as the personal and
political development of these radical activists during their
imprisonment. Based on extensive life-story interviews with Irish
Republican Army (IRA) ex-prisoners, the book examines how political
prisoners developed their intellectual positions through the
interplay of political education and resistance. It sheds light on
how prisoners used this experience to initiate the debates that
eventually led to acceptance of the peace process in Northern
Ireland. Politically relevant and instructive, Learning behind Bars
illuminates the value of education, politics, and resistance in the
harshest of social environments.
Through a post-1968 perspective on the past 50 years, Performing
Memory brings together case studies on new developments in the
relationship between politics and visual representation-including
the histories of dance, theatre, political performance and cinema
and investigates how they relate to the interlinked concepts of
visuality, corporeality and mobility. Using a collective
transdisciplinary attitude from within historical disciplines, and
looking across to artistic fields, this volume demonstrates that
memory is not merely a recollection of experience but an
interactive process, in which the body, mobile and constrained, is
both a point of departure and reference.
