Paperback. Condition: Fair. This 1996 collection of essays deals with the ways in which sex and gender are socially organized and conceptually construed in various cultures. Its scope is not limited to a series of cross-cultural issues of sex roles and sexual status but rather encompasses a wide range of sex-related practices and beliefs. Ceremonial virginity in Polynesian ritual androgynism in New Guinea, the valorization of young African bachelors, and fantasies of male self-sufficiency in South American myth are among the subjects discussed. Taken in their totality, these essays demonstrate that cultural notions sexuality and gender are seldom straightforward extrapolations of biological facts but are the outcome of social and cultural processes. The book is not only a compendium of symbolic approaches to gender but is also an important statement of the theoretical directions in anthropological research in this field.…

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED by Harriet Whitehead, the junior author, being inscribed to the former owner. A perfectly serviceable reference copy from a professional scholar's library; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy, and with some but minimal penned notations and tick-marks as befits a working copy. This 1981 collection of essays was the staple of my grad school career, featuring then edge-cutting essays dealing with the ways in which sex and gender are socially organized and conceptually construed in various cultures and throughout history and in different fields and genres. From ceremonial virginity in Polynesian ritual to androgynism in New Guinea, from the valorization of young African bachelors and fantasies of male self-sufficiency in South American myth, fields as disparate as ethnography, paleontology, ethnology and history are interrogated. "Sex" and "gender" are always the outcome of social and cultural processes. Contributions by the two editors, Harriet Whitehead and Sherry Ortner and by Bradd Shore Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. x, [2], 2-435 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets. Signed by Author.…
