内容説明

This book focuses on the politics and ideology of Belfast's Protestant working class. It begins by considering the dominant conceptual typologies of that social grouping as constructed by the left in Ireland. It then looks in detail at the social structure and politics of the Protestant working class community 'Ballymac'. Drawing heavily on -nterviews with residents and political activists the book further outlines, by way of a series of case studies, how that community has reacted to the contemporary political and social events, and in particular the consequences of the signing of the Anglo-Irish Agreement for loyalist politics. The book identifies the views of those active in both the Democratic Unionist Party and the Ulster Defence Association. In overall terms it outlines the formation of the political ideology by which Protestant workers make sense of, and give meaning to, their social and political worlds.
