Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book offers an in-depth analysis of how the British-identifying Protestant, unionist, and loyalist community in Northern Ireland has been portrayed in cinema. It chronicles the evolution of these representations from the 1980s social-realist dramas to contemporary films, examining themes of violence and comedy following the peace process. Gallagher challenges the notion of a Hollywood bias favoring Irish nationalists, proposing that systemic factors contribute to the underrepresentation of unionist narratives in film.
