Culture and Identity Politics in Northern Ireland - Mairead Nic Craith - Paperback Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - 2003 - Engelsk - Booktok.dk
Brand: Palgrave Macmillan
Description
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.
