Description for Culture and Identity Politics in Northern Ireland
Paperback. Num Pages: 241 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HBJD1; JFC; JFF; JPA; JPVH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
Civilization and culture have traditionally been regarded as mutually exclusive concepts. In this comparative case-study of Northern Ireland, Máiréad Nic Craith explores the commitment of unionists to a civic, 'culture-blind' British state; contrasting this with nationalist demands for official recognition of Irish culture. The 'cultural turn' in Northern Irish politics and the development of a bicultural infrastructure is examined here in the context of differing interpretations of equality and increasing demands for intercultural communication within, as well as between, communities.
