- Summary:
-
"Much has been written about the age-old rift between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Yet until this book, there existed no ethnography to map the two sides. In The Troubles in Ballybogoin, Kelleher accomplishes this by taking, literally, a street-level view. This is a book about talk and what it means." "The Troubles in Ballybogoin offers a glimpse at how social memory enters the workaday world to hinder communication and foster disorder. It is also a critique of the dichotomies made between past and present, Protestant and Catholic, urban and rural - polarities, argues Kelleher, that serve not the people but the state and its agents, the most powerful cultural-political force."--BOOK JACKET.
