The 1998 Belfast Agreement promised to release citizens of Northern Ireland from the grip of paramilitarism. However, almost a decade later, Loyalist paramilitaries were still on the battlefield.

Reviews for After the Peace: Loyalist Paramilitaries in Post-Accord Northern Ireland
In After the Peace, Carolyn Gallaher presents a highly nuanced but also recognizable and sustained interpretation of Loyalism in Northern Ireland. The fundamentalist/political binary comes through as the key distinction within Loyalism. This is an excellent synthesis of debates on the role of identity politics and the deficiencies of cosmopolitanism as a solution to divided societies.
