Books by John Nagle

An essential, illustrated primer on what makes society tick .

This book analyses the role power sharing, social movements, economic regeneration, urban space, memorialisation and symbols play in transforming divided societies into shared peaceful ones. It explains why some projects are counterproductive while others assist peace-building.

Critical literature has questioned British multiculturalism's capacity to confront racism and facilitate cross-community alliances; instead, multiculturalism is perceived to constitute groups in ethnically defined communities and essentialist cultures. This book demonstrates that multiculturalism can encourage cross-community political engagement.
