Abstract
Abstract When the troubles broke out in 1968, there was very little literature available on the community divide in Northern Ireland. Back in 1947, John M. Mogey had published a book for the Northern Ireland Council of Social Service entitled Rural Life in Northern Ireland: Five Regional Studies. Intended as ‘an attempt to describe the way of life of the country people of Northern Ireland’ (p. I), it contains much fascinating detail; but it focuses mainly on standards of living and patterns of work, and contains only incidental information on community relations. In 1960 a geographer then lecturing at Queen’s University, Emrys Jones, published A Social Geography of Belfast, which contains much relevant information, including a chapter on religion; but it covered only one city in Northern Ireland, albeit much the largest. Some other books contained apposite information-for instance, Ulster under Home Rule, edited by Thomas Wilson (1956), and R. J. Lawrence’s The Government of Northern Ireland (1965).
