Proceeding from an analysis of the historical and religious context, this study demonstrates the reductionist nature of the \"two traditions\" model, highlighting instead the complexity of ethnic identities and cultural traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e It thus shows why attempts at reconciliation like the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, which seeks to promote the concept of a \"parity of esteem\" based on this identity model., are fraught with difficulties. Reflecting on the applicability of the concept of multiculturalism in the context of Northern Ireland, the author proposes a re-conceptualisation of Northern Irish culture along lines that steer clear of binary oppositions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom the Contents: \u003c\/b\u003e 'Webs of Significance'; Dis-membering the Past; Divided by Common Cosmologies; A Discourse in Difference; The Process if 'Cruthinitude'; Un Unclaimed Tradition; Ethnic Nationality; The 'Fuzzy Frontier'; The 'Common Ground'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Máiréad Nic Craith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571813144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571813145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Máiréad Nic Craith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906826457343,"sku":"9781571813145","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a294b8d3-6e80-483a-a620-38afcf2073a5.jpg?v=1748771517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plural-identities-singular-narratives-mzairzsad-nic-craith-9781571813145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
