  • Social Work with Aboriginal Clients: Perspectives on Educational Preparation and Practice

    Louise Harms, Jane Middleton et al.ARTICLEAustralian Social Work2011Cited by: 9References: 3

    The many Aboriginal and non Aboriginal social workers who work with Aboriginal communities to address health and socioeconomic disadvantage have a key role to play in reducing the continuing inequalities experienced by many Aboriginal clients in Australia. The need for more culturally-responsive practice is well recognised, as historic barriers to effective practice and relationships persist. This paper describes the views of Aboriginal people ab…

  • The Traditional Nationalist Interpretation

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    The traditional nationalist view of Northern Ireland can be summed up in two propositions: (1) the people of Ireland form one nation; and (2) the fault for keeping Ireland divided lies with Britain. This view can be traced back to the foundation of Northern Ireland itself. Among early statements of it are The Handbook of the Ulster Question (1923), published by the North-Eastern Boundary Bureau, which had been set up by the Irish Free State gover…

  • The Traditional Unionist Interpretation

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    The traditional unionist interpretation can be summed up in two propositions: (1) there are two distinct peoples in Ireland, unionist and nationalist (or Protestant and Catholic); and (2) the core of the problem is the refusal of nationalists to recognize this fact, and to accord to unionists the same right of self-determination as they claim for themselves. Far from seeing Britain as the core of the problem, unionists tend to see the mainland Br…

  • Political Aspects

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    It was for long a matter of folk wisdom that national identity and religious allegiance coincided in Northern Ireland. The nationalist writer Frank Gallagher (1957), for instance, systematically used ‘nationalist’ when he appeared to mean ‘Catholic’. The first scholar to research the correlation between religion and national identity was Richard Rose, in his survey of 1968. In response to the question ‘which of these terms best describes the way …

  • Economic Aspects

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    All recent writers on the Northern Ireland economy agree that it is in a bad state. On this point the spectrum of academic opinion is narrower than on almost any topic examined in this book. It ranges only from those who paint the picture as bleak (e.g. Kennedy et al. 1988, 95-116) through to those who paint it as catastrophic (e.g. Rowthorn and Wayne 1988, 70-104). Unemployment is high. Emigration is rife. A substantial minority of the populatio…

  • Psychological Aspects, and a Review

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    Anyone who studies Northern Ireland must be struck by the intensity of feeling which the conflict evokes. It seems to go beyond what is required by a rational defence of the divergent interests which undoubtedly exist. There is an emotional element here, a welling-up of deep unconscious forces. It is worth examining what contribution psychology can make to an explanation of the conflict. The first observer to -stress such an approach was a journa…

  • Marxist Interpretations

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    Marxist analysis of the Irish problem goes back to Marx and Engels themselves, whose writings on Ireland were numerous enough to have been collected in book form (Marx and Engels 1971). However, the first writer to apply Marx’s ideas to Ireland systematically was James Connolly (1870-1916). Connolly’s works were still influential in the 1960s, when the troubles in Northern Ireland broke out. They were kept in print long after the writings of cont…

  • Some Religious Aspects

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    My purpose in this chapter is to examine how far Northern Ireland is segregated by religion into two communities. I shall do this by examining in turn a number of social institutions which have been singled out—by some writers at least—as linked with religion. To begin with, rather obviously, come the Churches themselves. Then will come the Orange Order, residential segregation, segregation at work, voluntary social activities, endogamy, and segr…

  • Solutions?

    John Whyte, John D Whyte et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    My purpose in this chapter is to survey possible solutions to the Northern Ireland problem, and to assess their merits. Such an exercise is not new. It has been done many times in the literature—for instance, by Palley (1972), Rose (1976), Oliver (1978a), Palley again in Watt (1981), Barritt (1982), Rea (1982), Boyle and Hadden (1985), and the SOL/Liberal Alliance commission on Northern Ireland (Alliance 1985). It has been done with particular co…

  • Implications

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    In the final chapter of this book I wish to offer some reflections on the preceding material. I shall discuss in turn: (1) how far has common ground been established among researchers into the problem?; (2) why has research on the problem not been more effective in helping towards a solution of the problem?; (3) how far, notwithstanding the limited effectiveness of research to date, has research into the Northern Ireland problem been worth while?…

  • Some Preliminary Issues

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    When the troubles broke out in 1968, there was very little literature available on the community divide in Northern Ireland. Back in 1947, John M. Mogey had published a book for the Northern Ireland Council of Social Service entitled Rural Life in Northern Ireland: Five Regional Studies. Intended as ‘an attempt to describe the way of life of the country people of Northern Ireland’ (p. I), it contains much fascinating detail; but it focuses mainly…

  • The Internal-Conflict Interpretation

    John Whyte, Garret Fitzgerald et al.CHAPTERInterpreting Northern Ireland1990

    A political scientist at the London School of Economics, Brendan O’Leary, has pointed out in a stimulating article (1985) that a distinction can be made between endogenous and exogenous explanations of the Northern Ireland problem. The schools of thought covered in the three preceding chapters all offer exogenous explanations: the problem is the responsibility of the British, or the Irish, or the capitalists. We now come to a school of thought wh…

  • Interpreting Northern Ireland

    John Whyte, John Henry Whyte et al.BOOKInterpreting Northern Ireland1990Cited by: 200

    Relative to its size, Northern Ireland is possibly the most heavily researched area on earth; hundreds of books and thousands of articles have been published since the current troubles began there in 1968. In Interpreting Northern Ireland John Whyte provides a badly-needed guide to the mass of literature and comment. In part I, Professor Whyte surveys the research on the nature and extent of the community divide, examining in turn the religious, …
