商品描述

This book offers a novel approach to studying war and peace by foregrounding motherhood in times of conflict and peace processes from a sociological perspective. Through qualitative research resting on individual and focus group interviews with 55 mothers who had lived through the Northern Ireland conflict, this book examines the gendered nature of coping with conflict and its aftermath in peace processes. Drawing on the idea of everyday life peacebuilding, it discusses how the family is located in the processes of social transformation in conflict-affected societies, and illuminates that mothers play central yet largely unnoticed roles in maintaining and restoring sociability in a conflict-affected society. The book illustrates that mothers have been hidden and underappreciated 'everyday peacebuilders', as well as hidden and trivialised victims of the conflict.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了一種新穎的研究戰爭與和平的方法,從社會學的角度將母親身份置於衝突與和平過程的前景中。透過對55位經歷過北愛爾蘭衝突的母親進行的個別訪談和焦點小組訪談的質性研究,本書探討了應對衝突及其後果在和平過程中的性別化特性。基於日常生活和平建設的概念,本書討論了家庭在衝突影響社會的社會轉型過程中的位置,並闡明母親在維持和恢復衝突影響社會中的社交性方面扮演著中心卻大多未被注意的角色。本書說明了母親作為被隱藏和低估的「日常和平建設者」,同時也是衝突的隱形和被輕視的受害者。
