Recenzii
Spencer has made a significant contribution to the existing literature on Provisional Republicanism. From Armed Struggle to Political Struggle will be of interest to anyone working on the Troubles and the peace process.
Graham Spencer's From Armed Struggle to Political Struggle: Republican Tradition and Transformation in Northern Ireland is a much needed and important addition to historical studies of the "Troubles" and the peace process ... The book usefully draws together extensive literature on the PIRA and the 1981 hunger strike, making a valuable contribution to the field with extensive, high-profile interviews and the exploration of a republican "social imaginary".
An accomplished account of conflicts and dialogues within and between nationalist political parties (Sinn Fein and the SDLP) and the Provisional IRA from the late 1960s to the early twenty-first century.
In this penetrating study, Graham Spencer shines a powerful light into the inner recesses of the Republican mind-set in the Northern Ireland peace process in describing how a small but resolute leadership cadre, with cunning and pertinacity, with verbal dexterity and great personal courage, over a period of years, managed to persuade a mainly clandestine organisation wedded to violence as a medium of political discourse to decommission the Armalite and embrace the ballot-box as the only means to effect change in a modern democratic society. In the process they altered the Republican psyche, formed in a matrix of Irish history, an overweening victimhood, moral ambiguity and Roman Catholic precepts and practices. More widely in the field of conflict management and resolution, there are lessons in the importance of language, and of the need for leaders constantly to redefine terms and to spend as much time negotiating them with their own supporters as with the opposition.This book is an important contribution to our understanding of what went on in key parts of the Northern Ireland Peace process, and more widely as a handbook for analysts and those who would intervene in other seemingly intractable conflicts.
Graham Spencer provides us with an insightful analysis of what shapes republican thinking and the changes it has undergone since the peace process started. A valuable and essential contribution.
This book contains some remarkably illuminating insights into the evolving republican mind-set from significant participants in the Peace Process. Getting these voices to speak so frankly says much about the author's unusual ability to build trust. He has weaved their contributions into a fascinating and important addition to the narrative of the Troubles.
