The identity of Ulster : the land, the language, and the people

This book by Ian Adamson is a fascinating survey of the unique historical and cultural heritage shared by all the people of Ulster. The publication of heritage - ironically coincided with the onset of the worst phase yet of Ulster's communal tradedy. Undaunted, Adamson continued, in books such as "The Indentity of Ulster" and "Bangor, Light of the World", to reiterate his belief in the common identity of the Ulster people - a belief which seemed quite at odds with the intensifying violence, and one which was certainly not being expounded by most of the academic establishment, who had remained strangley silent int eh midst of a communal bloodletting which had its roots in a clash over 'identities' and differing interpretations of history. Adamson's books, however, soon became 'required reading', for supporters and detractors alike, and even for participants in the polictical upheaval, especially those who were beginning to recoil from the devisiveness of outdated historical mythology. Indeed, there are many who would contend that Adamson's work, both directly and indirectly, has provided much of the impetus behind the current upsurge in Ulster's shared heritage. In this book, Admason brings his historical analysis up to date, and also, by detailing the impact Ulster settlers made on the birth of the United States of America and the vital contribution Ulster made to the regenteration of European Christianity in the Early Middle Ages, shows that Ulster's heritage is not confined to Ireland but has a much broader significance. More importantly, perhaps, The Ulster People offers, unlike many other interpretations of Irish history, a genuine hope for the future.

The Ulster People - Ancient, Medieval, and Modern

The Battle of the Boyne in 1690 is one of those events in Irish history which has retained such an emotive potency it still impacts upon the history of today. Yet for all the importance accorded to the battle, popular knowledge of the period and the personalities involved remains remarkably superficial, and slogans and stereotypes have substituted for real understanding.    This book attempts to remove much of the obscurity by exploring the Battle of the Boyne and its main protagonists in a broader context, especially its European dimension. By doing so the author hopes to challenge many popular assumptions held about the Boyne. He shows that it is quite erroneous to view the Battle as simply a case of Irish Protestantism vanquishing Irish Catholicism, or just another episode in the struggle between 'Planter' and 'Gael', or even to consider it a specifically 'Irish ' confrontation. The reality, he reveals, is much more complex.    Just as importantly, by presenting a broader perspective to the battle, the author also hopes to dilute some of its power to inflame sectarian passions, and allow the citizens of Ulster to integrate that period of their history less emotively - and less divisively - into their rich historical inheritance. Such and integration, he believes, is long overdue, for the people of Ulster have suffered too much and too long for their past History.    Signed by the Author

The Cruthin were the earliest inhabitants of both Britain &amp; Ireland to whom a definite name can be given. Their story is contentious, from distant origins to their influence on the present day, a timely reminder of an often ignored common identity. This 40th anniversary edition shows that the Cruthin controversy remains as relevant as it ever was.
