The New Anthropology,
By Mike O (UCSD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Domestication of Desire (Paperback)
Brenner's book has emerged out of a relatively new movement among the anthropological intellectual circles, a movement that examines modernity and its effects on cultures. This movement is a long overdue change from the search for lost and untouched tribes that defined anthropology in its early years. Focusing on gender ideology and domesticity on the island of Java in Indonesia, Brenner examines the important yet unrecognized and often contradictory roles of women in the marketplace, home, and society. Of particular interest is how these roles promote social cohesion. This study is an excellent attempt at applying sociological and anthropological method to contemporary issues. This book is written at a college and scholarly level. I highly recommend it for those interested in SE Asia, women's studies, or for those who are seeking an adventureous insight into a different corner of the world.
