内容説明
"Balancing Acts" focuses on the encounters between women and social, economic, and political institutions - and what it is about each that constrains the other. Drawing upon the experiences of women, from African hunter-gatherers to Asian agriculturalists and Latin American urban migrants, the authors examine the dissonance, difficulty, and pain accompanying the clash of cultures where traditional and modern systems either ignore or conflict with established values and behaviours. They explore the costs and benefits of attempting to reconcile the often irreconcilable, and allows the reader to hear the women in these societies as they begin to act to shape their own futures.
