Throughout history, women have become politically involved at
crisis points only to be excluded once "normalcy" 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.
