Between 1918 and 1983 West Belfast went from being the weakest Sinn Fein constituency in Catholic Ireland to the strongest. How this happened is explained through the first biography of the Parliamentary Nationalist leader Joe Devlin (1871-1934), set in the context of his local Catholic community. In the 1921 partition Belfast's Nationalist were double-losers, to Sinn Fein and to Ulster Unionism. In the communal memory of republicans and southerners Devlin's moderation and his sectarian jobbery were to blame. This research presents Devlin in a more favourable light, and suggests a more critical approach to the policies of revolutionary Sinn Fein.

1918年至1983年间，西贝尔法斯特从天主教爱尔兰最弱的新芬党选区变成了最强的选区。这是如何发生的解释通过第一本传记的议会民族主义领袖乔德夫林（1871-1934），设置在他当地的天主教社区的背景。在1921年的分裂中，贝尔法斯特的民族主义者是双重输家，新芬党和阿尔斯特联合主义。在共和党人和南方人的共同记忆中，德夫林的温和和他的宗派主义渎职是罪魁祸首。这项研究提出了德夫林在一个更有利的光，并提出了一个更关键的方法来革命新芬党的政策。
