Interpreting Northern Ireland by John Whyte
Relative to its size, Northern Ireland is possibly the most heavily researched area on earth; hundreds of books and thousands of articles have been published since the current troubles began there in 1968. In Interpreting Northern Ireland John Whyte provides a badly-needed guide to the mass of literature and comment. In part I, Professor Whyte surveys the research on the nature and extent of the community divide, examining in turn the religious, economic, political, and psychological aspects of the issue. In Part II he discusses ideological interpretations of the Northern Ireland problems, from unionist and nationalist to Marxist. In the final section of the book he surveys the various solutions that have been proposed and looks critically at what the mass of research has achieved. He suggests that if it has not achieved more it may be because it has sometimes asked the wrong questions.
Here, inside one set of covers, is the most intelligent, measured, intellectually sophisticated commentary on the vast subject of interpreting Northern Ireland that has yet appearedNo book could really fill the requirements for this prize more. * Professor Roy Foster, Chairman of the Judges, Ewart-Biggs Prize *
