Uncertain Terms: Negotiating Gender in American Culture
Faye Ginsburg
Jacket Description/Back: An exciting array of choices, or a litany of oppressive stereotypes? These personal ads---like so many gendered representations in the contemporary U. S.---offer us both. This volume takes up the challenge of such questions, central to understanding gender in the United States. Taken together, the articles in this collection articulate and combine two senses of 'negotiating gender.'Review Quotes: I have long awaited a book that would recapture the fervor of the mid-1970s, when feminism's political impulse and insights merged with interdisciplinary theory and ethnography to create a rich and exciting anthropology. This volume does just that. --American AnthropologistMarc Notes: Originally pub.: c1990.; Includes bibliographical references. Publisher Marketing: Feminist anthropologists discuss the influence of ethnicity, class, race, and politics on sexual roles in American society. Review Citations:
