Synopsis

'[A] detailed and compelling study ... The academic intelligence of Crossfires lies in its revelation that women can find a common voice in Europe, by sharing their experience as other' The Psychologist

'More than an in-house book for feminists, this volume should be reafd by all concerned with the rise of racism and nationalism in the world today
Political Studies

An up-to-date and thought-provoking book ... [it] makes a strong feminist contribution to the field of nationalism and racism and is recommended reading for anyone involved or interested in this area. New Community

This collection of essays seeks to shed new light on the ways in which men's and womens experiences of the above, in terms of racism and nationalism may differ.
This book offers rare and important insights into nationalism and gender concerns from an international feminist perspective. Outside, No 45, Jan 1996

The present day rise of nationalism, old and new racisms, war and refugee movements in Europe make this book highly relevant. One important message of the book is therefore that women have an interest in minimising ethnic conflicts on behalf of themselves and their children. LSE Magazine - Summer '96
