Each of the books is an important and unique historical record of imagery relating to conflict and peace.\n\nThe long-awaited third volume of photographs of political wall murals looks at the period 1996 to 2003. The book covers both loyalist and republican murals - 114 in all - reproduced in full colour.\n\nThe murals reflect the period leading up to the Belfast - or Good Friday - Agreement and what the author calls ‘the frustrating politics of transition’. The themes of murals in republican areas include political prisoners, sectarian harassment, memorials around the 20th anniversary of the 1981 hunger strikes, the RUC\/PSNI and British Army, plastic bullets and international solidarity.\n\nLoyalist murals also cover memorials, as well as the peace process, mythology, loyalist military groups, territory, Ulster Scots history and culture, and royalty.\n\nIn this collection Bill Rolston includes a number of unique photographs of murals from inside the H-Blocks taken shortly before the prison’s closure.\n\nContents\n\nIntroductory essay:\n\nMurals: a brief history; after the ceasefire, the frustrating politics of transition; the changing face of republican murals; what we have we hold - loyalist murals.\n\nRepublican murals:\n\nPeace process; sectarian harassment; prisoners; RUC and British Army; plastic bullets; memorials; hunger strike; mythology; history; international; other themes.\n\nLoyalist murals:\n\nPeace process; heroes; military; mythology; territory; memorials; history; Ulster Scots; royalty.\n\n12 pages of text, 60 pages of photographs (114 plates).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966545031221,"sku":"ByrdShop_1900960230","price":49.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781900960236_6de032df-0d3d-4314-8d68-c186213e811c.jpg?v=1778748215","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/drawing-support-3-murals-and-transitions-in-the-north-of-ireland-9781900960236","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
