Summary:

Though worlds apart, Chiapas, Mexico and Northern Ireland have both endured lengthy spans of ethno-national mobilization and conflict, making them ideal locations for a series of case studies exploring how women traverse social and identity boundaries during times of cultural flux. Combining traditional qualitative research methods with active-participatory, visual, and oral didactical research tools, Crossing Boundaries during Peace and Conflict takes an immersive look at the way female activists make sense of themselves and the structures they live in, ultimately making valuable contributions to the study of identity, intersectionality, and boundary processes in peace and conflict situations.
