Male and Female in Developing South-East Asia Hardback
Edited by Karim Wazir Wazir
Part of the Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Women series
Hardback
Description
This provocative book seeks to redress inaccuracies in Western perceptions of gender relations in Southeast Asia by bringing to the fore the area's ethnic and cultural variance and showing how women and men explain the informal and psychological dimensions of relationships as vital in holding family, neighbourhood and kinship ties together.
Although there are differences between male and female perceptions of sex roles in society, women perceive their situation as disadvantaged rather than less significant.
Male-female interpretations of power and status tend to converge usually towards the understanding that the contributions of men and women are equally important in the formation of family and society.
