Looking forward to discussing the 1975 IRA ceasefire this Fri 1 Aug at Féile an Phobail in W Belfast, exploring what it tells us about peace negotiations & hearing from Margaret Urwin on loyalist paramilitary violence during the period. Organised by the Pat Finucane Centre.

Thank you @ciantmcmahon.bsky.social We all really enjoyed working on this project @irpinaingiro.bsky.social @nyupress.bsky.social
I’ve had the pleasure of working on some edited volumes but never experienced the level of collaboration that Kevin Maddalena and the other authors brought to this. It means the chapters are “stitched” together in meaningful ways. And it’s always fun when the Irish and Italians team up on anything!
