Sommario/riassunto: | This book explores the intersection of collective memory and political identity in Northern Ireland, focusing on how these memories shape contemporary political and social dynamics. The author, James W. McAuley, draws on years of interviews with individuals and political organizations to examine the role of memory in constructing both individual and group identities. The book is part of the Memory Politics and Transitional Justice series, which aims to bridge the fields of memory studies and transitional justice. It is intended for academics, students, and practitioners interested in understanding the influence of historical memory on current political issues. |
