About this title

Synopsis

Farrel (history, Newberry College) considers the political and cultural impact of sectarian rioting in nineteenth-century Ulster. He examines the key role of public ritual in this tradition of violence, particularly the Orange processions and their relationship to the outbreak of Catholic/Protestant riots. He also studies the style and structure of these riots, the lower-class attitudes that gave rise to violence, and the rioters themselves. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
