Quotes by Margo Shea  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Remembrance can be telling on its own, not simply as a foil for history or a scoresheet on which to mark where popular historical consciousness gets it wrong. Remembering is a creative act, one of invention as much as of retrieval. Gaining insight into a community’s experiences requires “taking seriously their ways of structuring experience, their popular narratives, the distinctive manner in which they frame the social and political realities which affect their lives.” Indeed, it is useful to conceive of memory as both “a source and a subject” for historians.”
Margo Shea, Derry City: Memory and Political Struggle in Northern Ireland

“There is more to the story of the cataclysm of civil rights and the early Troubles than a seething Catholic acquiescence to the Northern state that erupted on the streets in the heady days of 1968.”
