Ethnic Dignity and the Ulster-Scots Movement in Northern Ireland: Supremacy in Peril: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ethnic Dignity and the Ulster-Scots Movement in Northern Ireland: Supremacy in Peril" wrote himself).

In this book, Peter Gardner contends that the production of narratives of ethnic peoplehood is an attempt to regain a sense of collective dignity among the previously dominant. After introducing the concept of ethnic dignity and locating its place within postconflict identity politics, Gardner focuses his analysis on the Ulster- Scots story of peoplehood. Drawing on a wealth of primary data, the chapters explore a variety of core issues including ethnopolitics, social class, political-economic ideology, colonialism, and heteromasculinity. The book concludes by taking a global view of post-conflict ethnic dignity among the once dominant, analysing the New Afrikaans movement in South Africa, white pride and ethnic whiteness studies, and Maronite Phoenicianism in Lebanon. This will be an important contribution for students and scholars of ethnicity, divided societies and, more broadly, political sociology.

Acknowledgements

There are many people to thank for their part in the production of this book. Foremost, I would like to express sincere gratitude to my doctoral supervisor, Jeff Miley, for his encouragement, support and guidance. Throughout the research process, he was there to offer critical perspectives, insightful questions and literature recommendations. His dedication and input throughout this process has been invaluable. I would also like to thank Mnica Moreno Figueroa and John Nagle for their inspirational work, for acting as my PhD examiners and for their suggestions for the development of the project. Their guidance has been immensely valuable.

This monograph was originally a doctoral dissertation undertaken at the University of Cambridge. The research was funded by the Cambridge Home and EU Scholarship Scheme (CHESS) through an Isaac Newton Award. As such, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to both the Isaac Newton Trust and CHESS for making this research possible.

There are many other mentors and colleagues to thank. Many thanks to Rin Ushiyama, Ben Abrams, Tiago Carvalho and Victor Roy for their friendship, their encouragement through the PhD and in the years since, and their enormously valuable comments and suggestions in reviewing manuscripts. Many thanks to the many others at the Department of Sociology in Cambridge and to Jesus College Cambridge for making my time as a graduate student there so intellectually stimulating and enjoyable. The two years I spent subsequently at the University of Aberdeen were also of much help in honing the direction and meaning of my work. Especial thanks to Bernadette Hayes, John Nagle, Gearoid Millar and Luisa Gandolfo at the Institute for Conflict, Transition, and Peace Research (ICTPR) in Aberdeen for their encouragement and intellectual contributions. I would like to thank Steve Bruce for his input on the politics of Protestantism and religiosity in Northern Ireland.

I would also like to thank Ronit Lentin, Andrew Finlay and Daniel Faas at Trinity College Dublin for their advice in the early stages of the development of this project. Ronit Lentins inspirational drive in interrogating race, ethnicity and gender and her use of sociology as a tool for social change is what convinced me I was a sociologist at heart. Andrew Finlays perspectives on systems of power and the politics of identity in Northern Ireland were highly productive. Various conversations with Daniel Faas about research methods, research development and religiosity in Ireland were incredibly useful.

I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Poppy Hull and the publishing team at Palgrave for their help and input in developing this book for publication. Poppys kindness and patience through the process has been greatly appreciated.

Thanks to my wife, Anna, for her consistent and dependable support. She celebrated in my progress, encouraged me through challenges and reassured me when I lost faith. Our son, Barnaby, was born in the last few months of finishing this book. The two of us sat together through the editing process in the early hours each day of his first month.

The logic of peacebuilding in Northern Ireland runs something like this: peace will come when both the Protestants/British and the Catholic /Irish communities can proudly declare a love of their own identity whilst also celebrating the identity of the other. In other words, peace requires benevolent but absolute ethnic bifurcation. Since the 1990s, the principle of parity of esteem has been the core value of the peace process and the cornerstone of power-sharing governance. Aside from its reification of ethnic boundaries,), the key questions that came to be asked were not those related to how Northern Ireland could deal with its multifaceted history of social, political, economic and ideological violence and domination. Rather, questions of ethno-cultural recognition were foregrounded, including those related to the fact that Northern Irelands Protestants lacked a coherent narrative of their cultural identity.
