Partitioned Lives: The Irish Borderlands (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781409466727)

Partitioned Lives: The Irish Borderlands explores everyday life and senses of identity and belonging along a contested border whose official functions and local impacts have shifted across the twentieth century. It does so through the accounts of contemporary borderland residents in Ireland and Northern Ireland who share their reflections on and experiences of the border from the 1950s to the present day. Drawing on recent approaches within historical, political and cultural geography and the cross-disciplinary field of border studies, this book explores the Irish border in terms of its meanings but also, and importantly, through the objects and practices through which it was effectively constituted.
