Everyday War in Donbas The Eurasian Knot
-
- History
When Greta Uehling set out to do her fieldwork, she noticed that ordinary Ukrainians in the war torn region of Donbas practiced an “ethics of care.” These are the everyday acts often overlooked in a conflict–civilians engaging in mutual aid, volunteers collecting bodies, aid workers smuggling medicine across the line, and neighbors helping each other navigate the horrors of violence, loss, and deprivation. But not every act is one of solidarity. She was also attentive to how the war has split communities, families, lovers, and friends. How do we make sense of the war in Donbas since 2014 through the daily experiences of civilians? The Eurasian Knot sat down with Greta Uehling to talk about her new book, Everyday War: The Conflict over Donbas, Ukraine.
