Even in places of deadly national enmity, some very ordinary people
are routinely doing peace. In this highly original study, Cynthia
Cockburn deepens our understanding of the processes sustaining
conflict in Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestine and
Bosnia/Hercegovina by means of a close involvement with three
remarkable women's projects that have chosen co-operation. How, she
asks, do they fill the dangerous space between them with words
instead of bullets? How do they make democracy out of difference?
The book brings fresh insight to theories of the self in relation
to collective identities and of gender in nationalist thought and
practice. Observing in words and photographs how these women's
alliances create a safe space in which to work together, we learn
more about the dangers of essentialism and the problematic
relationship between identity and democracy.
