The Gender of the Gift
Problems with Women and Problems with Society in Melanesia (Studies in Melanesian Anthropology, Vol. 6)
by Marilyn Strathern
- 2 Want to read
In the most original and ambitious synthesis yet undertaken in Melanesian scholarship, Marilyn Strathern argues that gender relations have been a particular casualty of unexamined assumptions held by Western anthropologists and feminist scholars alike. The book treats with equal seriousness-and with equal good humor-the insights of Western social science, feminist politics, and ethnographic reporting, in order to rethink the representation of Melanesian social and cultural life.
