Troubles of the Past?: History, Identity and Collective Memory in Northern Ireland

This edited collection considers the increasingly central role that memory and recalling the past plays in determining contemporary politics and the future direction of Northern Irish society. Using an inter-disciplinary approach, it considers how competing narratives of the past are constructed, re-constructed, commemorated and then harnessed to mobilise politics in present day society. -- .
