Divided City

Product Information

If parent are worried at the language don't be, yes there is some words that got my heckles up but they will hear worse on the street. Neuware - A gripping tale of two boys, one a Catholic, one a Protestant, whose attempt to help an outsider is set against the sectarian prejudices around them in Glasgow when the annual Orange Walks begin. Sit in for a critical discussion with key figures in our local government as they share strategies for how Seattle and the region at large can overcome inequities resulting from the transformation of our urban area.

Being a teenager in Glasgow in the early ninety's (ok a bit before this is set) I've seen old firm day violence, been in the city centre on dreaded orange walk days and remember what it was like when asylum seekers first arrived in the city and the author caught all aspects of that albeit a lighter side since the book is aimed at kids. This crucial moment of Athenian political history, Nicole Loraux argues in The Divided City, must be interpreted as constitutive of, not a threat to, politics and political life. However, Breslin’s voice is uncompromising and fierce, and readers won’t find it easy to close the book without taking it to heart.

This educational edition has been prepared by national Drama in Secondary English experts Ruth Moore and Paul Bunyan. Graham and Joe meet whilst at football training to try to get into the team to play for Glasgow City. But over all, this would be one of the best books I have ever read, and I thoroughly enjoyed and was amazed by this book. This leads to Graham almost by accident involving another boy from training, Joe Flaherty (who is of course from across the sectarian divide to which the book’s title mainly refers) in finding Leanne’s house.

I chose this book to review as part of Glasgow Women’s Library Mixing the Colours project because, although I have lived in Glasgow for some years, I felt I didn’t have a good understanding of the conflict between Protestants and Catholics.At that moment noise and shouting erupted behind him, and Graham knew right away that he was in trouble.
