Summary:Investigating the history of responses to, engagements with and memories of the Northern Irish conflict in Britain, this title explores the lessons to be learned from post-conflict efforts to 'deal with the past' in Northern Ireland, providing a starting point for wider academic and public debate in Britain on the significance of this history.
"This ground-breaking book provides the first comprehensive investigation of the history and memory of the Northern Ireland Troubles in Britain. It examines the impacts of the conflict upon individual lives, political and social relationships, communities and culture in Britain, and explores how the people of Britain (including its Irish communities) have responded to, and engaged with the conflict, in the context of contested political narratives produced by the State and its opponents. Setting an agenda for further research and public debate, the book demonstrates that 'unfinished business' from the conflicted past persists unaddressed in Britain, and advocates the importance of acknowledging legacies, understanding histories and engaging with memories in the context of peace-building and reconciliation." --
