This book examines the ways women politicians in Serbia and Kosovo have
imagined, constructed, and politicised national identity and gender while
engaging with politics in the context of the democratisation process. The first
book to focus on the work of women inside political structures, it draws on
participant observation and interview material to answer the question of how
women in positions of power and influence deal with their national identity
and gender in societies deeply divided along ethnic lines. Based on close
studies of the work of a small number of women from different ethnic backgrounds,
the author offers comparative analyses of the ways in which women
politicians of different ethnicities respond to similar events in their everyday
work. An original political ethnography that considers engagement of
women in formal politics, this volume will appeal to scholars across the
social sciences with interests in political structures and political participation,
particularly as these relate to questions of gender, nation and ethnicity.
