GARVAGHY - A
Community Under Seige.
Since
1795 the Orange Order has been gathering at Drumcree Church
and marching through Catholic areas of Portadown - 'the most
bitter town in Ireland'. Over the last thirty years, the
Obins Street/Tunnel area and the Garvaghy Road, have become
world famous as the site of struggles against
institutionalised sectarianism in the North of Ireland.
Every year since 1995, the residents have spent weeks hemmed
in by Orange mobs and ringed by units of the British Army... This book
is the story of the Garvaghy Road told by the people of
the area. They tell their stories of fear and anxiety,
of hope and loss, and of courage and community organisation.
They reveal the real price of 'Orange feet on the Garvagy
Road'.

Further
Afield - Journeys From A Protestant Past
Protestants in
the North of Ireland are typically portrayed as unionist or
loyalist, as fundamentalist Christians and members of the
Orange Order. But there are many Protestants - among them
feminists, gays, artsts and socialists - who negate the
stereotype and about whom we rarely hear.
In this book
Marilyn Hyndman presents engagingly honest interviews with 40
people from Protestant backgrounds. She uncovers their complex
struggles with the culture of sectarianism, public and private
realities, and over questions of identity. Here are journeys
of discovery and loss, of joy and sadness, and of elation and
confusion. |
| Overall,
these are stories of conviction from people who have made
conscious choices to break the mould.

Unfinished
Business - State Killings and the Quest for Truth
One in
ten of those killed during the last thirty years if conflict
in the North of Ireland was killed by the state. Yet very few
British Army, RUC or Intelligence personnel were ever charged
with murder, punished or disciplined for what they did. The
killings were carried out with impunity and quickly forgotten.
But the relatives of the dead did
not forget. How could they?
In this book,
people tell their stories of battling with the authorities to
establish the truth about state killings. They describe
how they took up the fight, often unwillingly and in
circumstances of great pain and sadness. Here are the
testimonies of ordinary people who became extraordinary
champions of human rights, |
|
|
challenging
the might of the state and sometimes succeeding. For the
majority, however, the fight goes on.

Gangsters
Or Guerrillas? - Representations of Irish Republicans in
'Troubles Fiction'
By
Patrick Magee |
| No-one
is better placed than Patrick Magee to introduce
the reader to 'Provo godfathers', 'psychopaths' and
'romantic nationalists with a death wish' who inhabit
the fictional universe of 'Troubles' novels. And no-one
is better placed to critically assess these
representations of republicans than an active republican
like Pat Magee.
Patrick
Magee was born in Belfast in 1951. In 1985, along
with others, he was charged with involvement in an IRA
bombing campaign in England which included the explosion
at the Grand Hotel in Brighton during the Tory |
|
| Party
conference of 1984.
He was sentenced to eight life terms, with the Home Secretary
setting his tariff at 'whole life', but was eventually
transferred to Maghaberry Prison in 1994 and subsequently to
Long Kesh, from where he was released under the tyerms of the
Good Friday Agreement in June 1999. This book is based on his
doctoral thesis, begun while in prison and completed on his
release.
