Product Description
Author John Hume was jointly awarded the 1998 Nobel PeacePrize on October 16, 1998 for his efforts to find a peaceful solutionto the conflict in Northern Ireland. In A New Ireland, his only book,Hume recounts the growth of the peace movement in Northern Ireland inthe 1970s and 80s, and the courageous discussions with Gerry Adams,President of Sinn Fein, that ultimately led to the initial cease-fireand, subsequently, the Good Friday accord.Part autobiography, partpolitical memoir, and part blueprint for peace, A New Ireland is aremarkable story of Hume's personal struggle for recognition of hisNationalist community's rights, as well as his unending quest forpeace and prosperity for all the people of Ireland throughout years ofviolent conflict. The book expounds on the evolution of Hume'spolitical philosophy that was grounded in the non-violent Civil Rightsmovement in the U.S. in the 1960s."John Hume has throughout been theclearest and most consistent of Northern Ireland's political leadersin his work for a peaceful solution. The foundations of the peaceagreement signed on Good Friday 1998 reflect principles which he hasstood for." -Norwegian Nobel Committee John Hume is a Catholicnationalist, and the leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Partyin Northern Ireland.

Hume's message - reconciliation, inclusion, respect and peace
I grew up in Belfast, and always had a lot of respect for the SDLP - initially Gerry Fitt and then John Hume being my political heroes. The book sets out with clarity mapping the real world experiences of John Hume and the progress - or maybe that should be regress - of the troubles in Northern Ireland. This book should be compulsory reading for kids growing up in Israel and Palestine, and probably Darfur and other regions of unrest. And of course, in Washington DC as well. Acheiving peace is not easy and does not come from the barrel of a gun. I don't recall the exact quote, and a friend is reading the book now, but it is along the lines of "Victory does not bring about peace - it simply puts it off". Never a truer word was said.

A framework for true reconciliation in Northern Ireland
John Hume is a virtually unknown figure in the United States, but he hasbeen steadily gaining recognition due to his work in the Northern Irishpeace agreement.This recognition is overdue and much deserved.Thismonumental book outlines Hume's political philosophy - a philosophy whichseeks to brush aside the vengefulness and intransigence of NorthernIreland's past, searching instead for reconciliation through justice forall.Hume is heavily influenced by Matin Luther King, Jr. and John F.Kennedy, and quotes from these two figures flavor Hume's text.Hume'sthemes may seem repetitive, and his ideas seem to be based on the shakeyfoundation of human progress, but this work demonstrates that he is achampion for for a true peace in Northern Ireland - a peace that is justfor all. ...
