Gallagher?s research traces the history of the community?s representation in cinema from the emergence of depictions of both nationalist and unionist communities in social-realist dramas in 1980s British and Irish cinema to today, through periods such as those focused on violent paramilitaries in the 1990s and irreverent comedy after the Northern Ireland peace process. The book addresses the perception that the Irish nationalist community has been depicted more frequently and favourably than unionism in films about the period of conflict known as ?The Troubles?. Often argued to be the result of an Irish nationalist bias within Hollywood, Gallagher argues that there are other inherent and systemic reasons for this cinematic deficit. 606 $aMotion picture plays, European 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEuropean Film and TV 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 615 0$aMotion picture plays, European. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 14$aEuropean Film and TV. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 676 $a780.71 676 $a791.34658416 700 $aGallagher$b Richard$013872 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910678246103321 996 $aScreening Ulster$93071621 997 $aUNINA
