Items related to Interpreting Northern Ireland
John Whyte has been studying Northern Ireland since the mid 1960s. In "Interpreting Northern Ireland" he provides a guide to the mass of literature and comment. In part one he surveys the research on the nature and extent of the community divide, examining in turn the religious, economic, political and psychological aspects of the issue. In part 2 he discusses ideological interpretations of the Northern Ireland problems, from unionist and nationalist to Marxist. In the final section of the book he surveys the various solutions that have been proposed and looks critically at what the mass of research has achieved. He suggests that if it has not achieved more it may be because it has sometimes asked the wrong questions.

Review:
Here, inside one set of covers, is the most intelligent, measured, intellectually sophisticated commentary on the vast subject of interpreting Northern Ireland that has yet appeared. No book could really fill the requirements for this prize more. (Professor Roy Foster, Chairman of the Judges, Ewart-Biggs Prize)
a sorely needed guide to that mass of literature and comment. This is a comprehensive and objective analysis, which will prove essential study for anyone who wishes to write intelligently about Northern Ireland and its difficulties (British Book News)
