Her new book seeks to tell the story of internal displacement in Ukraine in a way that is multivocal, and she uses the language of lived experience to take readers on a journey through Ukraine that deepens understanding and solidarity. We spoke to Greta about why our conventional understanding of war is incomplete, the importance of examining wars through the lenses of interpersonal relationships, and the concept of what she calls everyday war, the conscious and deliberate practice people adopt to participate in the conflict.
