HIST 1124 - "NORTHERN IRELAND: THE "TROUBLES" - 1969-1994"


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Ex-republicans and loyalists: "you've been in Belfast for 2 weeks. Do you understand the conflict any better now?" Pitt students: "no. We are more confused now than when we arrived." Ex-prisoners: "good! You've learned something." Contradictory? Confusing? Confusing? All of the above? If you say, ""all of the above" then you will find this class "intriguing." You will move beyond the "inherited histories" concerning the conflict in Ireland and investigate the roots of the Irish conflict. By the end, you will come to realize that history is rarely black and white and that there are many "truths" and shades of grey.
