Women, Ethnicity and Nationalism: The Politics of Transition


Add your own review!

Overview

Throughout history, women have become politically involved at crisis points only to be excluded once 'normalacy' has been achieved again. Movements and parties seeking to assert their territorial autonomy and political independence have commonly employed the ideas of ethnicity and nationalism to consolidate the transition to new regimes. However, these transitions exert differential gender effects, within both dominant and subordinate communities, which have implications for the status of women. This volume focuses on those effects and the interaction of gender with ethnicity and class during periods of transition in a number of divided societies. Each author provides a contemporary case study of a divided society - in Northern Ireland, South Africa, the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, Yemen, Lebanon and Malaysia - and discusses the situation of women. They assess whether transition in these societies provides new opportunities for women, or instead, creates new burdens and obstacles for them.
