Cultural Alternatives and a Feminist Anthropology

Discover the insightful perspectives of Frederick K. Errington in his compelling work, Cultural Alternatives and a Feminist Anthropology, published by Cambridge University Press in 1989. This thought-provoking book spans 200 pages and delves into the intricate dynamics of gender relations among the Chambri people of Papua New Guinea. Errington and co-author Gewertz present original research that challenges traditional views, demonstrating that Chambri women do not dominate their male counterparts, nor are they subjugated by them. Instead, they offer a nuanced interpretation that sheds light on the complexities of gender roles, making it relevant for contemporary discussions on gender relations in Western society. Ideal for students and scholars of anthropology, gender studies, and social sciences, this paperback is a must-have for anyone interested in cultural dynamics and feminist anthropology.
