About this book
Reviews
“This well-researched book maps the challenges of negotiating everyday life in the North ofIreland, after the signing of the Belfast Agreement. Drawing on the brilliant insights of key figures, leading women’s peacebuilding initiatives at the grassroots level, Donahoe examines the ongoing efforts of women on both sides of the political divide to engage in conflict transformation. Instead of idealizing women as peacemakers and bridge-builders across political divides, the book documents the fragility of such efforts and the creativity and perseverance required to nurture cross-community alliances in the aftermath of political violence. The interdisciplinary scope of the book makes it an invaluable resource to scholars, policymakers, and activists with interest in the interplay between gender and politics in post-conflict societies.” (Simona Sharoni, Professor, State University of New York, Plattsburgh, USA)
