But the city's many qualities are all too frequently overlooked, its image marred by association with the political violence of the Troubles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Feargal Cochrane tells the story of his home city, revealing a rich and complex history which is not solely defined by these conflicts. From its emergence as a maritime port to its heyday as a center for the linen industry and crucible of liberal radicalism in the late eighteenth century, through to the famous shipyards where the \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e was built, Belfast has long been a hub of innovation. Cochrane's book offers a new perspective on this fascinating story, demonstrating how religion, culture, and politics have shaped the way people think, act, and vote in the city--and how Belfast's past continues to shape its present and future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeargal Cochrane\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus and senior research fellow at the Conflict Analysis Research Centre, University of Kent.
