Aaron Edwards - A People Under Siege - Book Launch
2023-06-15 18:00 - 19:30
In Northern Ireland’s centenary year, military and political historian Aaron Edwards, a native of Belfast, explores the profound challenges facing Unionists, as extraordinary uncertainty hangs over the future of the Union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
In doing so he confronts the narrow, sectional beliefs and prejudices of unionists and loyalists, as well as outlining their more positive and forward-thinking aspects. By embracing these, Edwards explains how divisions could be healed and a position reached of mutual acceptance, tolerance and understanding that will benefit the entire population.

Alexander Poots - The Strangers' House Book Launch
2023-06-08 18:00 - 19:30
Join us for a Book Launch.
Alexander Poots will be in discussion with Malachi O’Doherty
A penetrating study and celebration of Northern Irish literature—telling the region’s story through the extraordinary novels and poetry produced by decades of conflict.
Northern Ireland is one hundred years old. Northern Ireland does not exist. Both of these statements are true. It just depends on who you ask. How do you write about a place like this? THE STRANGERS’ HOUSE asks this question of the region’s greatest writers, living and dead. What have they made of Northern Ireland – and what has Northern Ireland made of them?
