Ethnic Dignity and the Ulster-Scots Movement in Northern Ireland

In this book, Peter Gardner contends that the production of narratives of ethnic peoplehood is an attempt to regain a sense of collective dignity among the previously dominant.

The book concludes by taking a global view of post-conflict ethnic dignity among the once dominant, analysing the New Afrikaans movement in South Africa, white pride and ethnic whiteness studies, and Maronite Phoenicianism in Lebanon.

This will be an important contribution for students and scholars of ethnicity,

divided societies and, more broadly, political sociology.
