This deeply researched ethnography depicts the work of artists and policy makers as they imagine and perform a new urban identity for Belfast in the liminal time between the Good Friday Agreement and Brexit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Belfast Imaginary provides a timely and important review of how artists, in concert with public officials, have pioneered what she calls ‘third way art’ in the imagining and construction of a New Belfast. Keenan shows that we can all take heart that a city, so torn by decades of violent conflict, and after years of post-conflict liminality can still imagine itself as a space of creativity and peace. The Belfast Imaginary may very well serve as a blueprint of similar imaginings in places geographically distant but close in spirit to this rapidly evolving global city.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Thomas M.
