Neighbors socialize during wakes and ceilis-informal nighttime gatherings-without regard to religious, ethnic, or political affiliation. The witty, sometimes raucous stories swapped on these occasions offer a window into Aghyaran residents' views of self and other in the wake of decades of violent conflict. Through anecdotes about local characters, participants explore the nature of community and identity in ways that transcend Catholic or ProtestanStorytellingNorthern IrelandCastledergAghyaran (Castlederg, Northern Ireland)FolkloreStorytelling398.209416/4398.2094164Cashman Ray944746MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779098503321Storytelling on the northern Irish border2353900UNINA
