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…
Trauma: Life Stories of Survivors
The Meaning of ‘Moving On: From Trauma to the History and Memory of Emotions in ‘Post-Conflict’ Northern Ireland
Trauma’ has become a pervasive trope in discourse and practice concerned with the affective legacies of the Northern Ireland Troubles. This article argues that its productivity may now be exhausted. Whether homogenised as the trace of an unspeakable wound or medicalised as PTSD, orthodox concepts of trauma offer limited understandings of subjectivities shaped by violent conflict and the possibilities of their transformation. These constraints are…
The Northern Ireland Troubles in Britain: Impacts, engagements, legacies and memories
For the three decades of the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’ (1968–98), the United Kingdom experienced within its borders a profound and polarizing conflict. Yet relatively little research has addressed the complex effects, legacies and memories of this conflict in Britain. It occupies a marginal position in British social, cultural and political history, and the experiences and understandings of those in or from Britain who fought in it, were injure…

Northern Ireland Troubles in Britain: Impacts, Engagements, Legacies and Memories
This ground-breaking book provides the first comprehensive investigation of the history and memory of the Northern Ireland Troubles in Britain. It examines the impacts of the conflict upon individual lives, political and social relationships, communities and culture in Britain, and explores how the people of Britain (including its Irish communities) have responded to, and engaged with the conflict, in the context of contested political narratives…
The Northern Ireland Troubles in Britain: Impacts, engagements, legacies and memories
Investigating the history of responses to, engagements with and memories of the Northern Irish conflict in Britain, this title explores the lessons to be learned from post-conflict efforts to 'deal with the past' in Northern Ireland, providing a starting point for wider academic and public debate in Britain on the significance of this history

Politics of War Memory and Commemoration
The desire for justice, psychic reparation and the politics of memory in ‘post-conflict’ Northern Ireland
The expression ‘desire for justice’ is commonly used to describe the demand for redress made by victims of violence within ‘post-conflict’ transition. This article addresses the subjective and psychic aspects of this desire for justice, as these articulate with the politics of memory, discourses of victimhood, and questions of recognition, reparation and reconciliation in the Northern Ireland peace process. It explores how psychic and emotional c…
Trauma, Place and the Politics of Memory: Bloody Sunday, Derry, 1972-2004
On 30 January 1972, British soldiers shot dead thirteen unarmed Irish nationalist civilians and seriously wounded fifteen others (one of whom subsequently died), on the occasion of a civil rights demonstration held in the city of Derry. This event, known as ‘Bloody Sunday’, is the most important single case of the abuse of state power perpetrated by the British Army in the course of its long counter-insurgency campaign in Northern Ireland. It is …
Market, State and Feminism: The Economics of Feminist Policy
Market, State and Feminism offers an inter-disciplinary critique of the ‘free market backlash’ – the belief that free market economics can improve the position, status and well-being of women. The authors argue that, far from being restrictive and intrusive, state action can enhance the individual’s ability to make responsible choices.
