Synopsis
This ground-breaking book provides the first comprehensive investigation of the history and memory of the Northern Ireland Troubles in Britain. It examines the impacts of the conflict upon individual lives, political and social relationships, communities and culture in Britain, and explores how the people of Britain (including its Irish communities) have responded to, and engaged with the conflict, in the context of contested political narratives produced by the State and its opponents. Setting an agenda for further research and public debate, the book demonstrates that 'unfinished business' from the conflicted past persists unaddressed in Britain, and advocates the importance of acknowledging legacies, understanding histories and engaging with memories in the context of peace-building and reconciliation. -- .

Newspapers & Magazines
'This is an important book academically but one that challenges all activists involved in Irish politics to get together and produce their own history.'
Bernadette Hyland, Morning Star 13/02/2017

'This is a collection of essays by academics discussing the usually neglected topic of the impact of the Troubles on Britain.'
Books Ireland Magazine May/June 2017

'This volume constitutes a useful addition to the series Manchester University Press has constituted in Irish Studies, as well as a valuable contribution to a better understanding of the repercussions of the Troubles on the mainland.'
