Many Faces of Gender is an interdisciplinary volume that seeks to
address the dearth of descriptions and analysis of gender roles and
relationships in Native societies in the far North. This collection
complements existing conceptual frameworks and develops new
methodological and theoretical approaches that more fully articulate the
complex nature of social, economic, political, and material
relationships between men and women in indigenous northern communities.
The contributors challenge the widespread notion that Native women's and
men's roles have been frozen in time, a concept that precludes the
possibility of differently constituted gendered categories and changing
power relations and roles through time. By examining the
pre-historical, historical, and modern records, they demonstrate that
these roles are not fixed and have indeed gradually transformed.
Many Faces of Gender is ideal for anthropologists and archaeologists
with an interest in historical anthropology and archaeology, cultural
studies, gender studies, women's studies, and household and lithic
studies.
