The Northern Ireland Conflict on the Margins of History

In thisexacting re-examination of paramilitary violence upon border Protestants within Northern Ireland, The Northern Ireland Conflict on the Margins of History illuminates the understudied impact the Troubles had upon the Protestant community’s physical, economic, and cultural presence within the border counties.

Assessing the impact of paramilitary violence on border Protestants in Northern Ireland remains a critically overlooked part of the region’s history. Remembered through a framework of memory that blurs the boundary between victim and perpetrator, existing scholarship often disempowers border Protestants by obscuring their experience under the Provisional IRA’s campaign. This re-examination of the conflict illuminates how the Troubles impacted the Protestant community’s physical, economic, and cultural presence in the border counties. Combining oral history with a broader assessment of the Provisional campaign, this book presents a compelling case study for viewing this violence as a form of ethnic cleansing.
