Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Searching for Peace: Voices of Grassroots Women in Palestine/Israel 1989-1999 Searching for Peace starts from the micro-level, explaining the nature of one researcher's interactions with individuals and the environs to set the basis for more conceptual understandings. The book explores some challenges to feminist internationalism in Palestine/Israel, a highly contested terrain where women leaders occasionally declare themselves to be feminists but more often disclaim the label. It takes a closer look at the spectrum of political views on motherhood in relation to peace. The book also examines through the microlenses of personal history and language some of the blockages to the development of the tendency to be for peaceful cooperation among women.The focus is primarily on the Jewish-Israeli women, 1989-1999, although views of Palestinian women living in Israel and later observations are woven throughout.
