Politics in the Streets: The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement in Northern Ireland

Bob Purdie

4.9/5 (13082 ratings)

Description:The civil rights movement of the 1960s profoundly transformed the political situation in Northern Ireland. Exposing injustice at the heart of the Northern Ireland state - political favouritism, gerrymandering, sectarian discrimination in housing and job allocation - the civil rights protests were a militant but constitutional challenge to Unionist domination.Based on extensive research and interviews with leading activists like Eamonn, MacCann and Michael Farrell, Politics in the Streets tells the compelling story of the growth of the civil rights movement from its hopeful origins in the early 1960s to the mass demonstrations of 1968 and 1969. Incisive in his analysis of the movement's internal contradictions - its politics ranged from conservative nationalism to radical Marxism - Bob Purdie examines how a confused reaction to the bitter Unionist backlash led to its eventual breakdown. An invaluable account of the revolutionary events of the 1960s.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
