Details

“[Rush] focuses on a very interesting and unusual area (Northern Ireland), one in which community arts can play a particularly rich, complex series of roles, which she draws out and then dissects skillfully.” • Jeremy MacClancy, Oxford Brookes University

“I strongly recommend this book … It is a joy to read.” • Raphaela Henze, Heilbronn University

This book presents a nuanced view of Northern Ireland, a place at once deeply mired in its past and seeking to forge a new future for itself as a ‘post-post-conflict’ place within the context of a changing United Kingdom, a disintegrating Europe, and a globalized world. This is a Northern Ireland that is conflicted, segregated, and marginalized within modern Europe, but also hopeful and forward looking, seeking to articulate for itself a new place in the contemporary world.
