Du 25 mai au 9 juin 2002, quarante-sept femmes militantes des pays d'ex-Yougoslavie et d'Albanie ont traversé ensemble les frontières imposées, réelles ou imaginaires, entre leurs pays, entre leurs communautés, défiant pressions et discours dominants. Acte de mémoire, proposition politique, le présent ouvrage raconte et analyse en profondeur, de manière plurielle, cette initiative exceptionnelle, et la situe dans le contexte plus large du militantisme des femmes pour la paix. Un journal de voyage, un essai, des témoignages, un reportage photographique le composent.

Between 25 May and 9 June 2002, forty-seven women activists from the former Yugoslavia and Albania defied prevailing pressures and ideologies as they joined forces to cross the borders, both real and imaginary, that divide their countries and their communities. The present volume is an act of memory, and a political proposal, providing both an account and an in-depth analysis, encompassing different viewpoints, of this exceptional initiative, situating it in the broader context of women's activism in the cause of peace.

It comprises a travel diary, an essay, eye-witness accounts and a photographic record of this experience.
