Anxieties of Belonging: Ulster Protestant Migrants and the Troubles in Late Imperial England
Based on the findings of a major oral history study, this article uses the personal narratives of Ulster Protestant migrants to illuminate some of the understudied cultural and human impacts of the Northern Ireland Troubles for postwar British society. Situating these impacts within the history of “internal decolonization” and the postwar implosion of “Greater Britain,” it shows how the Troubles fueled popular perceptions of Northern Ireland as a…
Voices from the Shadows: Intergenerational Conflict Memory and Second-Generation Northern Irish Identity in England
Recent scholarship has highlighted the heterogeneity of second-generation Irish identities in Great Britain, yet the varieties of self-identification espoused by the English-raised children of Northern Irish parents remain almost wholly unexplored. This article redresses this neglect by examining the relationship between parentally transmitted memories of the Northern Ireland Troubles (c.1969–1998) and the forms of identity and self-understanding…
Travelling memories, the afterlife of feelings, and associative diffraction in oral histories of Northern Irish migrants to Britain during the Troubles
This article proposes an innovative analytical framework for understanding memory work in oral history interviews with migrants who experienced the Troubles in Northern Ireland before migrating to Britain.Integrating theories of diasporic subjectivity from migration studies with conceptual developments in oral history and current research on memory, temporality and the history of emotions, it focuses on transnational dynamics in 'travelling memor…
Keeping the Accent? Voice, Alterity, and Memory in Oral History Interviews with Northern Ireland Migrants in England
This article discusses a series of interviews with migrants from the North of Ireland to Britain during the Troubles (1969-1998) to explore how they narrate their experiences of movement and settlement by talking about voice and accent. Drawing specifically on two interviews -one with someone who felt her accent caused her to be seen as illiberal and uncivilized, and another who felt he could use his accent situationally and actively, sometimes t…
Northern Irish Migrants in Glasgow and the Troubles in Great Britain: Echoes of Conflict in a ‘Home Away from Home’
This article diversifies and deepens our understanding of Northern Irish settlement in Great Britain during the era of the Troubles (c.1969–1998) by exploring a previously under-researched destination: the West of Scotland. Featuring oral history interviews with Northern Irish migrants in Glasgow, it considers how centuries of cultural exchange between the two places shaped migrants’ memories and subjectivities. Our narrators’ childhoods in North…
Somewhere bigger and brighter? Ambivalence and desire in memories of leaving the north of Ireland during the Troubles
This article examines oral history interviews of migrants from Northern Ireland to Britain, specifically a group of ten people who left the North during the Troubles. It reads their interviews for, on the one hand, accounts of migration as liberatory or as generative of new subjectivities and new possibilities; and on the other hand, expressions of nostalgia, ambivalence or uncertainty which exist alongside those more optimistic narratives. In do…
War & Conflict in Twentieth Century Ireland: Experience, Memory and Representation
Since 2012, Ireland’s ongoing ‘Decade of Commemorations’ has focused attention, not only on the political ramifications of the events of 1912–1924, but also on the wider repercussions of war, confl
The Vicissitudes of Forgetting: Military Intervention and the Memory of the Troubles in Britain
The Northern Ireland Troubles was Britain's longest and largest post-war conflict, involving the deployment of some 300,000 military personnel over a 35-year period. Curiously, however, while the formal ending of the conflict in 1998 has generated profuse memorialisation in Northern Ireland, remembrance of the conflict in Britain has been conspicuously muted. This article uses newspaper reportage, popular cartoons, official reports and the record…
Creative Writing Workshops and the Narrative Construction of Self: Using Oral History to Explore the Impact of Public Engagement in the Arts and Humanities
The measurement and evaluation of the nonacademic impact of publicly funded university research have been important components of the funding model that has existed in the UK higher education sector since 2014, the year in which “research impact” was incorporated into the Research Excellence Framework (REF) as a key performance indicator. Chief among the methodological challenges created by the impact agenda is the need to develop mechanisms to c…
Life history and the Irish migrant experience in post-war England: Myth, memory and emotional adaption
Place, memory and the British high rise experience: Negotiating social change on the Wyndford Estate, 1962–2015
The ‘failure’ of Britain’s ‘high rise experiment’ remains one of the most heavily mythologised episodes within popular memory of post-war reconstruction. Despite this, the distinctive experiential, affective and representational dimensions of flatted estates have not been critically examined in recent work on the history of public housing in Britain. Based on the micro-analysis of a major development in Glasgow, this article interrogates this ‘de…
Slum clearance and relocation: A reassessment of social outcomes combining short-term and long-term perspectives
Housing research rarely takes a long-term view of the impacts of short-term housing changes. Thus, in studies of post-war relocation, narratives of ‘loss of community’ and ‘dislocation’ have dominated the debate for decades. This paper combines a ‘re-study’ methodology with oral histories to re-examine the experience of relocation into high-rise flats in Glasgow in the 1960s and 1970s. We find that both the immediate and longer term outcomes of r…
People and their homes rather than housing in the usual sense'? Locating the tenant's voice in Homes in High Flats
In recent years, the social research of Pearl Jephcott has been subject to scholarly reappraisal on the grounds that it displays an early commitment to the unmediated reporting of ‘the authentic voice of her participants’. This article investigates the extent to which this claim holds for Jephcott’s seminal 1971 study Homes in High Flats. It suggests that, although Homes in High Flats sought to investigate ‘people and their homes rather than hous…
Isolated and dependent: Women and children in high-rise social housing in post-war Glasgow
In 1971 Pearl Jephcott's Homes in High Flats, the culmination of her groundbreaking research into high rise living in Glasgow, revealed the problems faced by young mothers on the new high rise estates in the city. This article interrogates two connected factors, social isolation and economic dependence, which characterised the experience of many women who were rehoused to high flats in the postwar decades. Drawing on evidence collected by Jephcot…
Aspiration, Agency, and the Production of New Selves in a Scottish New Town, c.1947–c.2016
Narratives of deindustrialization, urban decline and failing public housing and the negative outcomes associated with these processes dominate accounts of post-war Scotland, bolstering the interpretation of Scottish exceptionalism in a British context. Within these accounts working people appear as victims of powerful and long-term external forces suffering sustained and ongoing deleterious vulnerabilities in terms of employment, health, and hous…

Re/negotiating “suspicion”: Exploring the construction of self in Irish migrants' memories of the 1996 Manchester bomb
On 15 June 1996 the Provisional IRA exploded a 3000 lb bomb in the city of Manchester, home to a large Irish community. This article uses oral history to explore the distinct ways in which two male Irish migrants, both of whom settled in the Manchester area during the post-war period, recall and negotiate their experiences of the bomb and its aftermath. Focusing on how memory production is shaped though interactions between different cultural for…
Ambivalent Horizons: Competing Narratives of Self in Irish Women's Memories of Pre-Marriage Years in Post-War England
Over the past-20-years research into the experiences of Irish female migrants in twentieth century Britain has been steadily accumulating. Based largely on the use of oral history, this work has been important in shedding light on various aspects of women's experiences, including how young women negotiated unfamiliar urban spaces and asserted an 'ethnic' identity in England. The dynamics shaping the re/construction of such experiences, and what t…
