Sinossi

Marking fifty years of the founding of an LGBTQ rights movement in Ireland, Reeling in the Queers explores the lesser-known stories of the fight for LGBTQ rights since 1974, beyond decriminalisation and Marriage Equality. From 1990s boy bands to the AIDS priest, Fr Bernárd Lynch, from the Belfast Lesbian Line to proud parenting, from the earliest Pride events to the last days of Alternative Miss Ireland, fourteen distinct moments map the changing social and cultural landscape of Ireland.
These stories, from across the island of Ireland – and further afield – celebrate a strong community and its allies, and speak across the generations. Together, they tell a new story of the gains, losses, devastation and community rising from the ashes of defeat. It is a hugely enjoyable and insightful read for both those who lived through this movement and for those who enjoy its benefits today.
Drawing from oral history as well as archives, Reeling in the Queers brings even more to life the great big queer tapestry in Ireland. Queer history in Ireland is Irish history and acknowledging and celebrating the light and the dark of it protects all of our futures as much as our pasts.

    "Highly readable" – Irish News
    "A gripping appraisal of Northern Ireland's turbulent first century. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how we have got to where we are today." – Suzanne Breen, Belfast Telegraph
    "A timely and lucid analysis of the Troubles that asks hard questions of successive British governments. The good news for the current government is that it also offers some answers." – Rory Carroll, The Guardian
    ***
    "For God's sake, bring me a large Scotch. What a bloody awful country!" Home Secretary Reginald Maudling, returning from his first visit to Northern Ireland in 1970
    As a long and bloody guerrilla war staggered to a close on the island of Ireland, Britain beat a retreat from all but a small portion of the country – and thus, in 1921, Northern Ireland was born.
    That partition, says Kevin Meagher, has been an unmitigated disaster for Nationalists and Unionists alike. Following the fraught history of British rule in Ireland, a better future was there for the taking but was lost amid political paralysis, while the resulting fifty years of devolution succeeded only in creating a brooding sectarian stalemate that exploded into the Troubles.
    In a stark but reasoned critique, Meagher traces the landmark events in Northern Ireland's century of existence, exploring the missed signals, the turning points, the principled decisions that should have been taken, as well as the raw realpolitik of how Northern Ireland has been governed over the past 100 years.
    Thoughtful and sometimes provocative, What a Bloody Awful Country reflects on how both Loyalists and Republicans might have played their cards differently and, ultimately, how the actions of successive British governments have amounted to a masterclass in failed statecraft.

     The Battle of Britain was not an isolated event. It was the culmination of a series of escalating tensions, military buildups, and ideological confrontations that had been brewing for years. By 1939, Europe was on the brink of war. The world watched as Adolf Hitler's ambitions for territorial expansion grew, and the Nazi regime began implementing its aggressive policies across Europe. 
      
    The rise of Nazi Germany under Hitler was a response to the humiliation the country had suffered after World War I. With the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, Germany was burdened with harsh reparations, which led to economic instability and social unrest. In this environment, Hitler’s National Socialist party capitalized on the public’s desire for national renewal. He began rearming Germany in the early 1930s, violating the treaty’s restrictions and asserting military strength across Europe. 
      
    By the mid-1930s, Britain and France found themselves at odds with Germany’s expanding influence. In 1938, Hitler annexed Austria and then demanded control over Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. When the Munich Agreement failed to halt his expansionist ambitions, Britain began to realize that appeasement would not work. The threat of war was no longer theoretical; it was imminent.
