Troubled Geographies

"Visit the companion website for the book"—

"By tapping the power of new geospatial technologies, the authors explored the intersection of geography, religion, politics, and identity in Irish history. Troubled Geographies. . . is a well-researched and written scholarly book that would interest students of European/Irish history and socio-cultural change."—International Social Science Review

"The book makes a strong case for a greater consideration of spatial information in historical analysis—a message that is obviously appealing for geographers. But only when HGIS becomes more fully integrated into history and the humanities will the potential suggested by Troubled Geographies be fully realized."—Journal of Interdisciplinary History

"A book like this is useful as a reminder of the struggles and the sacrifices of generations of unrest and conflict, albeit that, on a global scale, the Irish troubles are just one of a myriad of disputes, each with their own history and localized geography. The book is excellent as an introduction; it is written in a fluent, engaging and factually-correct prose. The first eight chapters on Ireland's history are essential reading before any sense can be made of the contemporary religious conflicts. . ."—Journal of Historical Geography

"An ambitious and extremely interesting display of the value of the Centre's [CDDA, Queen's University Belfast] data and analysis for understanding a major topic in Irish history: religion."—David W. Miller, Carnegie Mellon University
