Space and spatial practice has emerged as one of the key themes in the literature on modernity and post-modernity. Yet few attempts have been made to survey the theoretical terrain of space and modernity. Fewer still have endeavoured to apply this material in the form of concrete analysis. "Places on the Margin" attempts to correct the balance in three ways. First, it demonstrates the mutual relevance of sociology and geography. Second, it outlines a social theory of spatiality which focuses on the role of the spatial in making up culture. Third, it offers four case studies of the role of space in supporting social activities: Brighton and its place-image of the dirty weekend and the beach riots of Mods and Rockers in the 1960s, the cultural meaning of the Niagra Falls, the North-South divide in Britain and its role in national myths of British identity, and the Canadian spatialization of the Far North as the "Truth North Strong and Free" - a zone of purity and otherness where the distinctions upon which civilization is based break down.

Until recently, the history of the Irish Conservative party had been a neglected topic among Irish historians. As the main focus of Irish historiography has been on Nationalist political organisations and movements, the Irish Conservative party has received insufficient attention. As a result, this book provides the first detailed account of the party's history in the mid-Victorian period. Throughout the book, the focus is, in general, on the elite of the Irish Conservative party and on their relationship with the party leadership at Westminster. The complex ways in which the Conservative party interacted with the other principal forces in Irish society, in particular, the Roman Catholic Church, are examined. The ambivalent relationship which existed between it and the Independent Irish party from 1852 onwards is also analysed. Through a series of detailed analyses of Conservative party attitudes and policies on the Land, National Education, and Church questions, the book examines whether an 'indigenous' Irish Conservatism existed, different both in tone and content from its English counterpart. The period between the Famine and the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland has been generally neglected in Irish historiography. This book attempts to redress that imbalance, while at the same time, restoring the central role played by the Irish Conservative party in those years to its proper significance.
