The Battle of the Somme in Ulster memory and identity

Auteurs :
GRAHAM, B.
SHIRLOW, P.

Description :
The paper considers one aspect of the contestation of belonging that increasingly characterizes unionism. It examines the competition for the ownership of the mythology of the Battle of the Somme, long a key event in the unionist narrative. It addresses the ways in which paramilitary organizations are using the Somme to legitimate their own activities but also to distance the loyalist working classes from the former hegemonic Britishness of official unionism and the sectarianism of the Orange Order.
