This book explores how enduring poverty and entrenched class and gender inequalities across Catholic and Protestant communities fuel political conflict and shape collective identities.

Inequality, Identity, and the Politics of Northern Ireland examines how the politics of threat and resentment, undergirded by persistent poverty and class and gender inequalities across Catholic and Protestant communities, shape dynamics of political conflict, while simultaneously giving way to critical subjectivities at the community level through which more transformative visions of “peace” may emerge.

Curtis C. Holland is assistant professor of criminology and sociology at the State University of New York at Old Westbury.
