Ungendering Civilization
Editat de K. Anne Pyburnen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2004
Studying societies including Predynastic Egypt, Minoan Crete, ancient Zimbabwe and the Maya - to determine what the facts actually show, the contributors critically address traditional views of male and female roles, and argue for the possibility that the root historical cause of gender subordination is participation in modern world system, rather than 'innate' tendencies to domesticity and child-rearing in women, and leadership and aggression in men.
With an interdisciplinary potential, students of archaeology, cultural studies and gender studies will find this full of useful information.
