{"product_id":"the-space-between-us-cynthia-cockburn-9781856496186","title":"The Space Between Us: Negotiating Gender and National Identities in Conflict","description":"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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Cockburn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 185649618X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856496186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.46w x 0.52d","brand":"Cynthia Cockburn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071186137343,"sku":"9781856496186","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d57d1106-8621-40e8-bb0e-e47d92ca9644.jpg?v=1685434640","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-space-between-us-cynthia-cockburn-9781856496186","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
