Gender at the Crossroads of Knowledge Feminist Anthropology in the Postmodern Era

"Gender at the Crossroads of Knowledge offers us much more than a sampling of current work in feminist anthropology. . . . Taken together, the chapters ought to convince readers that feminist anthropology is a force to be reckoned with in the reshaping of our intellectual life. It presents a challenge to the familiar conceptual categories out of which not only our theories but also our everyday experience are built. . . . Feminist anthropology has a very important analytical position in gender studies generally. . . . This volume will do a good job of presenting anthropological contributions to non-anthropological audiences."--Rena Lederman, Princeton UniversityDi Leonardo, Micaela is the author of 'Gender at the Crossroads of Knowledge Feminist Anthropology in the Postmodern Era', published 1991 under ISBN 9780520070936 and ISBN 0520070933.
