4.0 out of 5 stars
a study of culture change,
By A Customer
This review is from: Space, Text, and Gender: Anthropological Study of the Marakwet of Kenya, An (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book. The author analyzes Marakwet society by looking at organization of space in their houses (traditionally round in shape), and how this relates to gender roles. She notes how these relationships change with modernization. This is a good case study of how women in Third World societies are affected by globalization. Her approach is both economic and symbolic -- some of the early chapters on the analysis of space harken back to Bourdieu's study of the Kabyle house.
