DRAWING SUPPORT 3
Murals and transition in the North of Ireland
Bill Rolston


This long-awaited third volume of photographs of political wall murals 
looks at the period 1996 to 2003. The book covers both loyalist and 
republican murals  - 114 in all, reproduced in full colour. 

The murals reflect the period leading up to the Belfast - or Good Friday - 
Agreement and what the author calls 'the frustrating politics of transition'. 
The themes of  murals in Republican areas include political prisoners, 
sectarian harassment, memorials around the 20th anniversary of  the 1981 
hunger strikes, the RUC/PSNI and British Army, 
plastic bullets and international solidarity. 

Loyalist murals also cover memorials, as well as the peace process, mythology, loyalist 
military groups, territory, Ulster Scots and Royalty.
 
In this collection Bill Rolston includes a number of unique photographs of 
murals from inside the H-Blocks taken shortly before the prison's closure.
