{"product_id":"women-in-igbo-life-and-shirley-ardener-9780415227049","title":"Women in Igbo Life and Thought","description":"A member of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria who became a nun and trained as an anthropologist, Joseph Therese Agbasiere had a unique opportunity to transcend some of the preconceptions and subjectivities inevitable when an 'outsider' studies a native society.\u003cbr\u003eHer richly detailed ethnography examines kinship practices, marriage customs, and women's responsibilities in the house and the community, establishing the tremendous influence that Igbo women wield in public affairs. Igbo ideas about the universe, the person and spiritual considerations are also discussed and shown to be primarily centred around women.\u003cbr\u003eThis fascinating work is a testament to the combination of personal insight and academic detachment which the author brought to her study of Igbo women before her death in 1998. It will be a valuable resource for students and scholars in anthropology, African studies and women's studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Therese Agbasiere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415227046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415227049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.50w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2001 pg. 1309","brand":"Joseph Therese Agbasiere","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119672553727,"sku":"9780415227049","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bafb7ef-24b1-4c6d-9c93-38194d4e1f52.jpg?v=1687410383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-igbo-life-and-shirley-ardener-9780415227049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
