Now, seven years on, I am defending my PhD, I am a researcher and Geography (Regional Studies) is my discipline. I must admit that I am more than pleased with my choice. My academic career in Geography began first as a student and then as a post-graduate student in the University of Joensuu, in the Department of Geography. I want to thank some of my teachers: Professors Perttu Vartiainen, Ari Lehtinen and Jouni Häkli who guided me in the world of Geography. Special thanks go to Jouni, who became the supervisor for my Master’s thesis and thereafter for my post-graduate studies. Jouni, your encouragement and advice have been worth gold. I have been lucky to have this opportunity to learn from you. Especially, in times of academic confusion (and indeed there have been many of these) discussions with you have given me mental support. I also want to express my gratitude to Kristiina, Dave and Joni, who worked in the same research project of Borderland Studies. Being the youngest one in our team, I was named as “Baby Spice.” I have proudly carried that name, but moreover working with you all has been a pleasure. Joni, you have always made time to listen and to discuss academic topics or life in general. Whatever happens in the future, Joni, you can account on our deal: I’ll cut and you sweep. Conducting this research has taken place in several environments. I want to thank my colleagues in the Department of Geography in Joensuu and in the Department of Regional Studies and Environmental Policy in Tampere. During my year of field-work I was kindly hosted in INCORE, Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Special thanks are due to Mari, Gillian, Martin, Wanda, Paul, Roisin and Catherine. I also want express my gratitude to Hugh Callagher who gave me the opportunity to see his brilliant pictures of the city of Derry/Londonderry and who provided a few of these pictures to be used in my research. In-depth views on Northern Irish society were offered by many friends and colleagues; in particular I want to acknowledge the sixty-one people who took part in focus group interviews or individual interviews. Your experiences made this research possible. Finally, Maureen, your visions of the future and innovative ideas have amazed me for many years. It has been honour to work with you. Towards the end of this research I have had the opportunity to get comments on the manuscript from many people: Professor Anssi Paasi, Docent Pauliina Raento, Dr. Hille Koskela and Professor Jouni Häkli. Their several marginal annotations helped me to further improve and focus my work. Bentley Mathias patiently corrected my English. The layout was done by Aila Helin. Special thanks are due to Sini Tainio who draw the theme maps. This research was made possible by the funding of the Academy of Finland (project 42657). * * * * * * * * * Haluan kiittää niitä kaikkia ihmisiä, jotka ovat jakaneet kanssani tutkimustyön ulkopuolisen elämän iloja ja suruja. Lämmin kiitos ystävilleni: Hanna, Jenni, Merja ja Riikkaliisa. Kannustuksesta ja henkisestä tuesta kiitos, äidille, isälle, Paavolle, Arposille ja muille sukulai- sille. Omistan tämän työn rakkaimmilleni, Tomille, Lumille ja Sampolle.

  • Voices of 1968
    Voices of 1968 Read Voices of 1968 to understand how, why, and where deeply rooted activist currents coalesced into a global uprising that changed the world. Filled with a treasure trove of first-hand accounts and raw materials, Voices of 1968 transports readers to the front lines of local organizations and nationwide movements led by feminists, anti-imperialists, Black Powerites, and the New Left. Here are the transnational threads of hope and possibility desperately needed in an era of neoliberalism. Robyn C. Spencer, CUNY, author of The Revolution Has Come: Black Power, Gender and the Black Panther Party This is a direly needed document collection of great value. To the best of my knowledge, this is the most comprehensive such publication on global 1968 in any Western language. Gerd-Rainer Horn, Institut d’études politiques de Paris, author of The Spirit of ’68: Rebellion in Western Europe and North America, 1956–76. This extraordinary collection brings together the great manifestos, political programs, and other original writings that inspired—and were inspired by—the movements and uprisings of 1968. There are documents here from France, Czechoslovakia, and the United States, of course, but also lesser known writings from Canada, Mexico, and Yugoslavia, among other countries. This volume is indispensable for anyone interested in the global upheavals of that annus mirabilis. Jeff Goodwin, NYU, editor of The Social Movements Reader, author of No Other Way Out: States and Revolutionary Movements, 1945–1991 Here are VOICES from the marvelous year of 1968, as they spoke then. Some speak to projects we still struggle to realise half a century later.

  • 1951 Census Preliminary Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND I95I PRELIMINARY REPORT Printed and presented pursuant to 14 * IS Geo. 6., Chap. 6. BELFAST : HIS MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1951 PRICE Is. 6d. NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 PRELIMINARY REPORT Printed and presented pursuant to 14 S- 15 Geo. 6., Chap. 6. BELFAST : HIS MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1951 PREFACE In accordance with the provisions of the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1951, a Census of the population was taken on 8th April, 1951. This was the third since the establishment of the Government of Northern Ireland, two earlier Censuses having been carried out in 1926 and 1937. It was intended to take a Census in 1941, but this was found impracticable owing to war conditions. It is forty years since, in 1911, Censuses were carried out simultaneously in all parts of the British Isles. This statistical achievement has been repeated on the present occasion, and the results should prove of very great interest. Further, the Northern Ireland Census of 1951 was a much fuller one, as regards the number of questions asked, than that of 1937—for instance, each person was required to state his or her occupation for the first time since the Census of 1926. No question, however, was asked which had not been included either in 1926 or 1937. As on previous occasions, the Census was. taken on a de facto and uot Side jure basis, i.e., it included all persons, regardless of nationality or usual place of residence, who spent the night of 8th April in Northern Ireland.

  • Reflections on the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Movement Fifty Years on by Michael Farrell
    Paper for conference at George Mitchell Institute, Queen’s University, and Belfast: Human Rights Futures: The Agenda for the next 50 Years. 12 December 2018 Reflections on the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Movement Fifty Years On by Michael Farrell I am honoured to be asked to speak about the Northern Ireland Civil Rights movement to a body named for Senator George Mitchell who played such a key role in bringing about the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement (the Agreement) which, whatever its flaws, brought an end to the armed conflict here and created a space in which civil society organisations could grow and develop. I am also glad that the remit of the George Mitchell Institute involves “global peace, security and justice” as I would like at the end of this paper to broaden out the discussion a bit beyond the narrow confines of this island. When did the Civil Rights movement in Northern Ireland begin? Perhaps it was in Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, in May 1963 when a group of young mothers who had been refused council houses picketed the local council’s office. One of them carried a placard with the somewhat abstruse message “Discrimination in Alabama hits Dungannon”, referring to the black Civil Rights movement against discrimination in the Southern states of the USA. Or perhaps it started in Derry City the following year when people who were living in decaying corrugated iron huts in an abandoned World War 2 military camp at Springtown, on the outskirts of the city, marched to the City Corporation’s offices in the Derry Guildhall demanding homes.
