Question

A country in this region is the subject of a “personal history” that takes as a starting point a White Paper advocating for economic openness written by T. K. Whitaker. A Boston College oral history about a conflict in this region includes an interview (15[1])with a man nicknamed “Darkie”; two detectives retrieved those interviews from BC’s Treasure Room at the start of a book that intersperses a history of that conflict in this region with a kidnapping from the Divis Flats. (*) We Don’t Know Ourselves chronicles a country in this region, the site of a conflict detailed in Say Nothing. Prisoners led “no wash” protests in this (10[1])region. Gerry Adams (10[1])has denied involvement in a group in this country (10[1])who decommissioned their weapons per the Good Friday Agreement. For 10 points, name this island, the site of the Troubles. ■END■
