Sommario/riassunto

Peacebuilding with Women in Ukraine: Using Narrative to Envision a Common Future, by Maureen P. Flaherty, explores the process and outcome of a participatory action study that invited women from two diverse areas of a divided Ukraine to share previously untold personal stories and visions for themselves, their families, and Ukraine. The study itself provides a model for emancipatory social action while the women's stories introduce the reader to the history and building of a country that has most often had its history written for it.
