{"product_id":"afterlives-of-the-troubles-graham-dawson-9781526146496","title":"Afterlives of the Troubles: Life Stories, Culture and Conflict Transformation in Northern Ireland","description":"Focusing on experiential life stories across a range of forms and practices, this book investigates subjectivity, culture and the cultural politics of representation as a neglected dimension of conflict transformation in the Northern Irish peace process. Interdisciplinary critical perspectives from historical cultural studies, oral history and popular-memory theory inform close interpretive engagement with life stories in their cultural, historical and geographical contexts. This enables exploration of the complex temporal dynamics of 'post-conflict' subjectivities in the lengthening 'afterlife' of the Troubles, where feelings attached to conflict experiences are not 'past' but haunt the present, and memory-work carries future-oriented desires for truth, justice and reconciliation. Through case studies responding to the evolving peace process through this prism of life-storytelling, Afterlives maps a contested history of legacy policy-making and approaches to 'dealing with the past', from devolution in 2005-7 through to the Legacy and Reconciliation Act of 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Dawson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526146495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526146496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Graham Dawson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47201108820223,"sku":"9781526146496","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9735b1f-13f4-4d1c-956f-8aeb83ee63c7.jpg?v=1756788897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/afterlives-of-the-troubles-graham-dawson-9781526146496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
