Title: The performance of gender
Description: "The Performance of Gender presents a vivid description of everyday life in order to explore the concept of performance for an anthropology of gender. A detailed account of the lives of men and women in a South Indian fishing community reveals new ways of framing gender relations, the body, and kinship. The ethnographic account is set within the context of social and cultural theory, notably the ideas of Judith Butler, Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault."--BOOK JACKET.
