Description
Summary:The responsiveness of national and religious identifications to political change among Protestants in Northern Ireland is demonstrated here. It outlines how the Good Friday Agreement (1998) changes the political landscape from the perspective of a variety of Protestants. Then it maps the main direction of change, based on a narrative analysis of interview data collected in 2000. The conclusion highlights the underlying dynamics of identification with a view to maximizing the acceptance of political change in Northern Ireland. (Ethnic and Racial Studies, ECMI)
