X Abstract

Feminist Anthropology: A Reader surveys the history of feminist anthropology,a field that was inspired by the women’s movement of the late 1960s and hassince emerged at the forefront of efforts to make anthropology more responsiveto the concerns of disempowered people around the globe. The field has movedfrom a central concern with women as an unproblematic focus to the study ofgender as an analytical construct.Feminist Anthropology offers students and scholars a fascinating collection ofboth classic and contemporary articles, grouped to highlight key themes fromthe past and present. Avoiding synthetic overviews, this volume offers vibrantexamples of feminist ethnographic work. The thoughtful introduction to thevolume provides context and discusses the intellectual "foremothers" of thefield, including Margaret Mead, Ruth Landes, Phyllis Kaberry, and Zora NealeHurston. Comprised of 5 sections, each framed by a theoretical andbibliographic essay with suggestions for additional readings, this readerfocuses on the ways that feminist anthropology gave rise to important newconcepts in anthropology.
