| This volume focuses on women living and working in conflict zones. The lives of women during the civil wars in Sri Lanka and the former Yugoslavia are being analyzwd. Problems of nationalism, ethnic conflict, and militarized violence are being discussed. The book is divided into three parts: the first section is about ethnic nationalism and the militarization of women; the second part discusses gendered violence in times of conflict and the third part is about politics and cultures of resistance. The authors explore commonalities and differences between Sri Lanka and the former Yugoslawia, and consequences for women, their societies, and feminist politics. The collection also addresses issues of domestic violence, rape, intermarriage, victimization, feminist organizing and anti-war activism, women's self-help organization, and political resistance. This vibrant collection emerges from The Women in Conflict Zones Network, an international collaboration of activists and scholars.
