The Roles Of Men And Women In Eskimo Culture (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258062316)

""The Roles of Men and Women in Eskimo Culture"" is a detailed exploration of the traditional gender roles and responsibilities in Eskimo societies. Written by Naomi Musmaker Giffen, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the cultural beliefs and practices that have shaped the roles of men and women in these communities. Giffen draws on extensive research, including interviews with members of Eskimo communities, to examine the ways in which gender roles are defined and maintained. She explores the division of labor, social organization, and cultural values that shape the roles of men and women in areas such as hunting, childrearing, and community leadership. The book also examines the ways in which these roles have changed over time, particularly in response to external influences such as colonialism and modernization. Giffen provides a nuanced and complex understanding of the ways in which gender roles intersect with other aspects of identity, such as age, social class, and ethnicity. Overall, ""The Roles of Men and Women in Eskimo Culture"" is an insightful and informative study of an important aspect of Eskimo culture. It will be of interest to scholars and students of anthropology, gender studies, and indigenous studies, as well as to anyone interested in learning more about the diverse cultures of the Arctic regions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
