Children's Literature
When a car driven by a member of the IRA careened into an Irish Catholic family out on a stroll in 1976, no one would have guessed that it would have been the catalyst needed to bring together a region plagued by car bombs and shootings. Mairead Corrigan, the aunt of three of the children killed in the accident and a Protestant neighbor named Betty Williams challenged Protestants and Catholics to unite and reject the violence that was claiming the lives of more and more innocent victims each year. The women created an organization called Peace People and were later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Darraj takes the reader from the beginning of the conflict in 1169 to the IRA's promise in 2005 to disarm and "[pursue] an independent Northern Ireland exclusively through peaceful means." Spreads devoted to others who embraced nonviolent means of protest are scattered throughout. Kids may find it difficult to keep the various factions straight in their minds (i.e., Provos, IRA, Protestants, Catholics, Irish, English, and Scots). Recommended for both school and public libraries.
