En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the cinematic portrayal of the British-identifying Protestant, unionist, and loyalist community in Northern Ireland, this book offers a groundbreaking analysis of their representation in film. It traces the evolution of these depictions from the 1980s social-realist dramas to contemporary portrayals, including the violent paramilitary narratives of the 1990s and post-peace process comedies. Gallagher challenges the notion of an Irish nationalist bias in Hollywood, suggesting deeper systemic factors contributing to the perceived imbalance in representation.
