Beyond Orange and Green? The awkwardness of negotiating difference in Northern IrelandFootnote1
1. This essay is based on findings from my doctoral research on the politics and policy of cultural diversity in Northern Ireland. This research involved interviews with policy makers, civil servants, minority ethnic representative groups and community groups involved in race relations, multicultural practices and self-defining anti-racists conducted in Belfast, Lisburn and Derry from December 2004 to August 2006. Participant observation was conducted at events such as multicultural celebrations, cultural diversity workshops and anti-racist protest meetings. This essay also draws on some policy analysis and analysis of texts produced by anti-racist groups.
