Exploring Confrontation - Sri Lanka: Politics, Culture And History

42,39€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Sri Lanka has been the meeting point of many ideologies and ways of being. This has spelt heterogeneity, syncretism and conflict. In drawing upon the practices of empirical research promoted by Western intellectual traditions, the author demonstrates the strengths of these practices through his contextualised engagement with the pogroms of 1915 and 1983, as well as other incidents, as at the same time he delineates some of the limits of empiricist rationality.This book is replete with rich ethnographic detail and serves as an exercise in historical anthropology which illuminates Sri Lanka''s political culture. It not only opens out the contrast between Western and Indian world views, but also explores the human condition by bringing out the immediacy surrounding acts of victimisation and human beings in conflict.

Women Of The Place - Kastom, Colonialism And Gender In Vanuatu

de Margaret Jolly

54,31€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Women of the Place is a study of gender relations in the kastom communities of South Pentecost, Vanuatu. It considers kastom in these communities not as an eternal tradition, but rather as a way of life, an identity in relation, and in resistance to the forces of European development. The way in which Christian missions, the labour trade, and the development of Western political institutions had a divergent impact on women and men is explored. The relations between persons and things is highlighted in an examination of the myths and rituals of the life-cycle and of grade-taking. The significance of this ritual is located in the context of colonial history, particularly the impact of pacification on men. Finally, the book considers more generally kastom and gender in the post-colonial state.
