Growing Up in a Divided Society
註釋The stories of the schoolchildren who participated in this study demonstrate that the conflict in Northern Ireland is more than a religious conflict; it is about economic, political, historical, and psychological issues. It is particularly an ideological struggle with a deeply felt attachment to the historical and cultural symbolism of the British monarchy that directs the socialization process of Protestant schoolchildren. Most importantly, Byrne's research brings to light a vision of hope for change shared by some of the participants, reversing the commonly held belief that despair reigns supreme in conflict-ridden areas. The project also reflects Byrne's belief in the importance of the analysis of conflicts and their just resolutions.
