description: Female and Male in Borneo: Contributions and Challenges to Gender Studies. Monograph Series, Volume No. One The papers in this book describe human sexuality and gender among a small sample of societies on the island of Borneo. Expressions of human sexuality vary widely among the 200 autonymic societies, which range in population from a few hundred persons to three-quarters of a million. Some are quite open about the subject, others circumspect and discreet. The present work contains studies of eight societies, with references to others. It does not deal with Chinese and Malays, who with others will be the subjects of future monographs on the same topic.
