Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Gender and Modernity is a valuable contribution to our understanding of ethnic and gender relations in Bolivia. Stephenson achieves an original reading of the complex role of the state efforts to maintain their cultural identity and integrity in the face of a design to mask ethnicity. This is a rich book, full of intriguing and original ideas, and a must for students of modernization and social change. (Susan C. Bourque HAHR August 2000)
Review
This is an important feminist/cultural studies reading on the subject of racial formation in Andean Bolivia that has women at its center.... It would be useful for courses such as Latin American women's history, feminist theory, cultural studies, the anthropology of women, gender studies, history of consciousness, and Andean studies. (Guillermo Delgado-P., Director, Latin American and Latino Field Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz )

This review is from: Gender and Modernity in Andean Bolivia (Hardcover)
This book provides some very interesting information about how modern societal pressures are brought to bear on indigenous women and how these subtle and rather insidious pressurs can transform or act as a catalyst for group identity.Very interesting!
