Ebook: Women, Ethnicity and Nationalism: The Politics of Transition

This book surveys how nationalist revivals have impacted on the lives of women in countries undergoing profound social and political upheaval. Using contemporary case-studies, each author looks at the interaction of gender, ethnicity and class in a divided society. They discuss the varying experiences--the constraints and opportunities--of women in Northern Ireland, South Africa, the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, Yemen, Lebanon and Malaysia.
