This book uncovers a new genre of Npost-Agreement literatureO, consisting of a body of texts O fiction, poetry and drama O by Northern Irish writers who grew up during the Troubles but published their work in the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement.aIn an attempt to demarcate the literary-aesthetic parameters of the genre, the book proposes a selective revision of postcolonial theories on NliminalityO through a subset of concepts such as Nnegative liminalityO, Nliminal suspensionO and Nliminal permanence.OaThese conceptual interventions, as the readings demonstrate, help articulate how the AgreementOs rhetorical negation of the sectarian past and its aggressive neoliberal campaign towards a NprogressiveO future breed new forms of violence that produce liminally suspended subject positions.
