Hocking shows through deft engagement with ethnographic and documentary material how post-Good Friday Agreement policy has been dominated by attempts to create spaces that are amenable to tourists and capital, but also the limits of such initiatives in a context where ethno-national division remains a salient feature of everyday life for many. - Peter Geoghegan, University of Edinburgh \u003cp\u003e While sectarian violence has greatly diminished on the streets of Belfast and Derry, proxy battles over the right to define Northern Ireland's identity through its new symbolic landscapes continue. Offering a detailed ethnographic account of Northern Ireland's post-conflict visual transformation, this book examines the official effort to produce new civic images against a backdrop of ongoing political and social struggle. Interviews with politicians, policymakers, community leaders, cultural workers, and residents shed light on the deeply contested nature of seemingly harmonized urban landscapes in societies undergoing radical structural change. Here, the public art process serves as a vital means to understanding the wider politics of a transforming public sphere in an age of globalization and transnational connectivity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bree T.
