Carved Flesh / Cast Selves

<p>This volume the first comprehensive overview of Scandinavian cross-cultural research on gender issues in the English language addresses fundamental analytical issues currently debated within international feminist anthropology and beyond. Offering examples from a wide range of ethnographic settings the essays show that gender comprises far more than sexual relationships: it takes on political significance insofar as it influences the distribution of resources and access to public and domestic spheres to knowledge and to power.</p>
