Book Hero thinking about your next read

This collection considers the increasingly central role that memory plays in determining contemporary politics and the future 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.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This collection brings together academics and practitioners to consider the increasingly central role that memory and recalling the past plays in determining contemporary politics and the future direction of Northern Irish society. Using theoretical, comparative and case-study approaches, it considers not only how narratives of the past are constructed, reconstructed, understood and commemorated, but also the ways in which the key themes that emerge are harnessed and mobilised to political and social effect in the present.

Troubles of the Past? draws deeply on a wide range of expert opinion and viewpoints to add significantly to existing knowledge surrounding the debates over memory and the ways it is used in Northern Irish society.
