{"product_id":"forging-the-border-okan-ozseker-9781788550703","title":"Forging the Border: Donegal and Derry in Times of Revolution, 1911-1925","description":"Donegal was the bastion of Home Rule conservative nationalism during the tumultuous period 1911-25, while County Derry was a stronghold of hard-line unionism. In this time of immense political upheaval between these cultural and social majorities lay the deeply symbolic, religiously and ethnically divided, and potentially combustible, Derry City. What had once been a distinct, unified, socio-economic and cultural area (to nationalists and unionists alike) became an international frontier or borderland, overshadowed by the bitter legacy of Partition. The region was the hardest hit by the implementation of Partition, affecting all levels of society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This completely new interpretation of the history of the Irish north-west provides a fair and balanced portrait of a divided borderland and addresses key arguments in Irish history and the history of revolution, counter-revolution, feuds and state-building. Forging the Border fills an important lacuna, and challenges long-held assumptions and beliefs about the road to partition in the north-west.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Okan Ozseker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788550706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788550703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Irish Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Okan Ozseker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445715022079,"sku":"9781788550703","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26d8eef4-d244-49d9-b93e-663b4b4c8b92.jpg?v=1777220199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forging-the-border-okan-ozseker-9781788550703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
