Reviews for Shattering Silence: Women, Nationalism, and Political Subjectivity in Northern Ireland

Through clearly-written, thoroughly-grounded, and conscientious ethnography, Aretxaga urges readers away from the pat caricature of a brutal and male-dominated Northern Ireland, and toward an informed understanding of the complexity and poignancy of the lives and history of its subjects."
