Rezensionen

"In Ex-Combatants, Gender and Peace in Northern Ireland, Wahidin uses interviews to expose the intimate and poignant accounts of the prison experience through a gendered lens. ... It is a must-read to understand the integral role that female combatants had during the conflict and that female ex-combatants must have during social transformation for a solid and lasting peace. Wahidin's work is a seminal text that should be read by everyone studying post-conflict reconstruction and peace-building." (Ashleigh McFeeters, LSE, blogs.lse.ac.uk, February, 2017)
