Description

Belfast: The Story of a City and Its People This lively and engaging history of Belfast offers a fresh perspective on a resilient city. Beyond its complex and often turbulent past, Belfast has a rich and vibrant tradition of radicalism, industry, architectural innovation, and cultural achievement. From its emergence as a maritime port to its heyday as a center for the linen industry, the city has long been a hub of innovation. Cochrane's book reveals the ways in which religion, culture, and politics have shaped the way people think, act, and vote in Belfast, and how the city's past continues to shape its present and future. With a focus on the city's many qualities, this book challenges the common perception of Belfast as a city defined by conflict. By exploring the highs and lows of Belfast's history, Cochrane offers a nuanced and insightful look at a city that is both beautiful and complex.
