Opis

This book discusses what feminist anthropologists have to offer feminist theory in the 1990s. It answers the question Where are the origins of power and difference? by locating these concepts in cultural narratives of sexuality, gender, kinship, race, nation and religion. The essays focus on intersections among kinship, race, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, religion and gender which make relations of social inequality appear to be logical extensions of a natural order, thereby legitimating and obscuring power.
