Featuring interviews with key members of these paramilitary groups, many conducted inside the Maze prison, Colin Crawford presents a thorough analysis of Loyalism and the role that Loyalist paramilitary groups continue to play in Northern Ireland's troubles. He also provides an insider's account of the workings of state-sponsored terrorism. Crawford explores these tensions and assesses the difficulties that the UDA faces in the wake of the Good Friday Agreement. He analyses the Ulster Democratic Party's failure to win seats in the 1998 elections, and he examines the conflict between those who are motivated by the profits of crime and drug trafficking, and those motivated by political ideals. The book makes disturbing and often heartbreaking reading, and it marks an important step forward in understanding the Loyalist position - for it is only through improving our understanding of the experience of all citizens in Northern Ireland that lasting peace can be achieved. 606 $aParamilitary forces$zNorthern Ireland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical violence$zNorthern Ireland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aUnionism (Irish politics) 607 $aNorthern Ireland$xPolitics and government 607 $aNorthern Ireland$xHistory, Military 615 0$aParamilitary forces$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical violence$xHistory 615 0$aUnionism (Irish politics) 676 $a941.60824 700 $aCrawford$b Colin$f1948-$01792802 701 $aSmyth$b Marie$01097763 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955707803321 996 $aInside the UDA$94331843 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03876nam 22005415 450 001 9910592989403321 005 20251009103250.0 010 $a9783031079658$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9783031079641 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-07965-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7083329 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7083329 035 $a(CKB)24814911000041 035 $a(OCoLC)1345257207 035 $a(BIP)084151360 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-07965-8 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924814911000041 100 $a20220909d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aKnowledge Production and the Search for Epistemic Liberation in Africa /$fedited by Dennis Masaka 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (233 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Masaka, Dennis Knowledge Production and the Search for Epistemic Liberation in Africa Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783031079641 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aChapter. 1.

The text considers what this veritable direction to knowledge production would mean to other areas of concern in African philosophy such as morality, education and the environment. These contributions are important because the success of decolonising projects in African countries depend upon the methods that underpin envisioned liberative knowledge production in light of Africa?s historical and present condition.
