“…58 Such a narrative, as Faligot asserts, distorted events on the ground by 'projecting the irrational image of a war of religion' through 'concealing the real causes and consequences of the Anglo-Irish conflict'. 59 In any event, it disguised asymmetries of power. Had the 'two tribes' theory any vestige of accuracy -highly questionable at best -it overlooked how one 'tribe' was marginalised in the Northern Ireland state, while the other 'tribe' dictated social, political and economic matters.…”

“…This common denominator is shaped by external social factors, cultural factors and collective needs It invests symbols, myths and memories with a sense of commonality that deflects from internal variance by creating a sense of togetherness among those identifying with the shared past they engender, and a sense of hostility towards those foreign to this shared past. 59 Subscription to this shared past underpins the personal, familial, communal, ethnic or national identities individuals simultaneously possess. 60 By dint of membership of 'mnemonic communities', we come to possess 'the ability to experience events that happened to groups and communities to which we belong long before we joined them'.…”

“…62 This held little currency with leftist critics. The IRSP savaged the 'former revolutionaries of Sinn Féin' for inflicting 'a wave of cruel and vicious attacks on working class families': 59 Coulter, 2014. 60 SF may argue that in the circumstances they had no choice but to swallow the pill which the Tories were forcing down their throats.…”

TJI). When I moved to the University of Warwick in early 2015 as a post-doc, my plans to develop the book came with me too. It represents the culmination of approximately five years of research, reading and (re)writing, during which I often found the mere thought of re-reading some of my work again nauseating; yet, with the encouragement of many others, I persevered. Over the course of the book's lifespan I have accumulated enough debt of gratitude to last several lifetimes. As such, I wish to acknowledge the contribution that many people have made to help this book come to fruition.An apposite starting point for reciting my long and ever-expanding list of thanks is with Liverpool University Press and Alison Welsby. Thanks to everyone, group aligned and independent republicans alike, who facilitated or participated in the interview process; 32 County Sovereignty Movement, Coiste na nIarchimi (and its local affiliate branches), Community Restorative Justice Ireland, Conflict Resolution Services Ireland, Éirígí, Expac, Irish Republican Socialist Party, Justice for the Craigavon 2, Republican Network for Unity, Republican Sinn Féin, Sinn Féin and Teach na Failte. Thanks also to the staff at the Northern Ireland Political Collection, Linenhall Library, Belfast for all their help and assistance during archival research. The collection is a magnificent resource whose worth is matched only by the helpfulness of those who staff it. I am also indebted to Daniel Holder of the Committee on the Administration of Justice for helpfully providing clarity on post-Historical Enquiries Team policing mechanisms for 'dealing with past'.Many learned scholars have helped develop the critical thinking contained in this book. In particular, my PhD supervisory team of Kris Brown, Eilish Rooney and Bill Rolston will always have my gratitude for their wisdom, patience and humanity as they guided me through early academic development. Likewise, Kieran McEvoy and Fionnuala Ní Aolaín have always been generously forthcoming in their feedback and encouragement.

“…For some, the value of such external testing is restricted by the difficulty of others achieving sufficient familiarity with the materials to be able validly to interpret them. Feedback from respondents may also be a check on analyses (Andrews, 2003). My research used a combination of such procedures.…”

“…They may include participants' and their own reflective written or oral comments on interviews, sometimes just afterwards, sometimes as a 'second take' years later, as in Andrews's (2003Andrews's ( , 2004 research, which sustains longstanding interviewee relationships. Researchers may look at hard-to-transcribe fragments, contradictions and gaps within narratives, as well as the words themselves; or at the paralanguage of for instance tone, pauses and laughter 'around' words.…”
