Abstract
Actual encounters during a stint of working with the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo proved that no facile assumptions could be made about the women of Kosovo. War and the strains of survival in difficult conditions had unleashed a mix of contradictory forces in Kosovar society as far as female status was concerned. This was also a scenario of m61ange where established Western liberal feminist notions had been midwifed in a conundrum of ethnic prejudice and tribal loyalties as well as a reaction to communist-era institutional frameworks. What emerged was a confusing hybrid situation in which each strand of competing ideology and influence had to be delineated to make sense of the composite whole. (excerpt)
