This is the first of five world-renowned Drawing Support books by sociologist Professor Bill Rolston, first published in 1992. Each of the books is an important and unique historical record of imagery relating to conflict and peace. Like them or loathe them, they cannot be ignored. The political wall murals of the North of Ireland are an integral part of loyalist and republican communities. In its murals each group displays its hopes and fears, struggles and aspirations. Sometimes the murals are long-lived, more often their existence is fleeting. This unique collection of photographs captures a large section of the murals in their original colour and grandeur. It provides a revealing glimpse into the ideologies of the communities which produce this lively political art.
