| Summary |
Ulster Loyalism after the Good Friday Agreement is the first book of its kind to provide a wide-ranging examination of loyalist history, identity and transformation in Northern Ireland since the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Timely and necessary, this collection of essays paints a complex and multi-faceted picture of loyalism which goes beyond simple stereotypes of criminality and anti-social behaviour to reveal communities reacting in numerous ways to the challenges of a 'post-conflict' Northern Ireland. Including contributions from academics and key loyalist figures this book combines analysis with oral testimony to provide a compelling insight into loyalist communities and political change in Northern Ireland today |
