Breaching Derry's Walls is the first book to examine the island-based society of Ireland from the point of view of its Northwest quadrant. In particular, Derry, a city long known as a center for culture, plays a central role in Professor Jon Van Til's research. Dividing his sections historically pertaining to societies and conflicts, Professor Van Til draws upon his personal experience as a Fulbright scholar to provide a fresh and original way of conceptualizing Ireland and all its facets. Appealing to students and conflict specialists, this book implements a new vantage point for understanding the Northern Ireland region.
Jon Van Til is Professor of Urban Studies at Rutgers University, Camden, New Jersey. He has served as Fulbright Distinguished Scholar (2004) and Fulbright Senior Specialist (2006) at the University of Ulster, and is the author of ten books, including Mapping the Third Sector (1988) and Growing Civil Society (2000). Van Til served as Editor-in-Chief of the Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly from 1977 to 1989, was twice elected president of the Association for Research in Nonprofit Organization and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA), and received that association's Career Award for Distinguished Research and Service in 1994.
