Azrini Wahidin offers a critical and engaging study of how gender relations shaped key features of the conflict and conflict transition in Northern Ireland. This important book draws on rich interview material with men and women who were active in the Irish Republican Army during the ‘Troubles’. Wahidin revisits debates concerning women’s roles in war and conflict transformation to interrogate gender stereotypes with regard to the use of political violence. The book also examines the contributions of ex-prisoners to the peace process in Northern Ireland and their transition away from republican armed struggle into electoral and community-based politics.

书评：北爱尔兰的前战斗人员、性别与和平：妇女、政治抗议和监狱经历 Azrini Wahidin

阿兹里尼·瓦希丁 (Azrini Wahidin) 对性别关系如何塑造北爱尔兰冲突和冲突过渡的关键特征进行了批判性和引人入胜的研究。这本重要的书借鉴了对“麻烦”期间活跃在爱尔兰共和军中的男女的丰富采访材料。瓦希丁重新审视关于妇女在战争和冲突转变中的作用的辩论，以质疑有关使用政治暴力的性别陈规定型观念。这本书还考察了前囚犯对北爱尔兰和平进程的贡献以及他们从共和武装斗争向选举和社区政治的过渡。
