The Northern Ireland Conflict on the Margins of History

Kenneth Funston, Cillian McGrattan

Assessing the impact of paramilitary violence on border Protestants in Northern Ireland remains a critically overlooked part of the region's history. Remembered through a framework of memory that blurs the boundary between victim and perpetrator, existing scholarship often disempowers border Protestants by obscuring their experience under the Provisional IRA's campaign. This re-examination of the conflict illuminates how the Troubles impacted the Protestant community's physical, economic, and cultural presence in the border counties. Combining oral history with a broader assessment of the Provisional campaign, this book presents a compelling case study for viewing this violence as a form of ethnic cleansing.
