{"product_id":"a-troubled-sleep-james-waller-9780190095574","title":"A Troubled Sleep: Risk and Resilience in Contemporary Northern Ireland","description":"In contemporary Northern Ireland, more than two decades after the peace agreement that ended the thirty-year sectarian violence known as \"the Troubles\" the risk of a return to violent conflict is not only present but growing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on ethnographic fieldwork, comparative research, and over 110 hours of face-to-face interviews with a diverse range of political, academic, civil society, and community actors across Northern Ireland, \u003cem\u003eA Troubled Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e revisits one of the world's most deeply divided societies to analyze Northern Ireland's current vulnerabilities, and points of resilience, as an allegedly \"post-conflict\" society. By examining the Northern Ireland example, Waller presents deep insight into what happens when identity politics prevail over democracy, when a paralysis in governance leads to a political vacuum for extremist voices to exploit, when de facto social segregation becomes normalized, when acclimatization to violence becomes a generational legacy, and when questions of who we are become secondary to who we are not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Waller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190095571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190095574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2022","brand":"James Waller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043719966975,"sku":"9780190095574","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bb1c23b-984d-48de-a6ab-481f255a592b.jpg?v=1684968762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-troubled-sleep-james-waller-9780190095574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
