This new book draws on anthropology, feminism and psychoanalysis to develop an original and provocative theory of gender and of how we become sexed beings. Written not just for professional scholars and for students but for anyone with a serious interest in how gender and sexuality are conceptualised, experienced and imagined.
Focuses on anthropological theory. This book covers a range of topical issues which are at the forefront of debates in anthropology, including gender, the body, cognition and material culture.
Introduces gender theory to the analysis of African ethnography, exploring the ways in which ideational gender categories permeate African systems of thought and ritual practices. This book provides a framework to evaluate ethnographic material on Africa. It also presents case studies of hunter-gatherers, agriculturalists, and pastoralists.
Whether initiating girls or healing cattle, many in Africa share a vision of a world where the cultural, symbolic and cosmic categories of 'male' and 'female' serve, through ritual, to reimagine and transform the world. This work provides a framework with which to evaluate previous ethnographic material on Africa.
