Julieann Campbell Reihenfolge der Bücher
Julieann Campbells Werk ist tief in der Kraft persönlicher Erzählungen und des kollektiven Gedächtnisses verwurzelt, insbesondere im Kontext der komplexen Geschichte Nordirlands. Ihr Schreiben, das sich über Lyrik und Sachliteratur erstreckt, zeichnet sich durch tiefes Einfühlungsvermögen und ein scharfes Auge für die kleinen Details aus, die Menschlichkeit selbst angesichts tiefgreifenden Widrigkeiten offenbaren. Campbell bemüht sich, ihre Stimme als Werkzeug für Verständnis und Versöhnung einzusetzen und die Geschichten derer ans Licht zu bringen, deren Erfahrungen oft übersehen wurden.

On 30th January 1972 thirteen people were shot dead and a further fourteen wounded, one of whom died later, by British paratroopers during a peaceful civil rights march in Derry. In June 2010, thirty-eight years later, Lord Saville s report made headlines all over the world, and the people of Derry were brought to a stunned silence as British Prime Minister David Cameron apologized on behalf of his government and his country for the unjustified and unjustifiable acts of Bloody Sunday. Setting the Truth Free is the first ever account of the remarkable Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign as told by the campaigners, relatives and the wounded themselves. Many books have been written on the subject but few mention in significant detail how these ordinary people achieved the impossible and unwittingly made history. Determined to clear their loved ones names, this group took on the might of the British government, and won. Each major turning point during the campaign is described and accompanied by family testimonies. Written by Derry journalist and niece of Jackie Duddy who was killed on that day, with a foreword by political activist Gareth Peirce. Winner of the Christopher Ewart Biggs Award in 2013."
