Synopsis

Some of the most innovative chapters involve the relationship of historical understanding on the present, as exemplified in the minds of Unionist politicians searching for a new identity or in the minds of the creators of the wall murals in nationalist and unionist areas of Belfast. These themes are brought together in an introduction which looks at the strands of commonality and difference in the histories of Ireland and Scotland.
