Culture and Identity Politics in Northern Ireland

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the contrasting perspectives of unionists and nationalists in Northern Ireland regarding culture and identity. It highlights unionists' preference for a civic, 'culture-blind' British state, while nationalists seek official acknowledgment of Irish culture. Through a comparative case study, the author examines the rise of bicultural infrastructure and the implications of the 'cultural turn' in politics, addressing themes of equality and the necessity for intercultural communication within and between communities.
