- Description
- In this anniversary edition to celebrate the 35th jubilee of LOVA the focus is on etnographies of gender and the body. Irma Beusink presented a paper at he LOVA conference in Amsterdam, July 2014, using metaphors to analyze differences within feminisms and their translations into the governmental policies and political statements of indigenous women's organizations in Bolivia. Breast cancer is the second most frequent cancer in the world and a mastectomy is the main method of treatment. Mastectomized women must reconstruct the way that they express their femininity and the symbols that identify them. In El Salvador significant changes in social life have occurred due to the levels of violence that the maras, or transnational street gangs, have generated. How adolescent women living in mara-controlled territories associate themselves with the maras and how their associations impact their sexuality and life strategy choices are discussed by Edith Yesenia Pena Sánches en Mónica Paola Zúniga Escobar. Authors describe the corporeality of an ethnographic view of morbid obesity, technoscience and identity by analyzing the story of a woman with morbid obesity in Mexico City. Anorexia nervosa as a health problem shows a prevalence of 0.5 to 5% in Mexico and it is mainly shown in adolescent and young adult women. In his paper Matthew W Maycock shows certain forms of competition and the denial of pain, both of which are integral to being rickshaw drivers, in light of their implications for masculine bodies and performances. The last 10 years has seen an increase in traditional bride abduction (ukuthwala) cases in South Africa. Recent cases share the common element of sexual violence of under-aged girls by much older men, or even groups of men. Diana Dubrovska takes a look at female sex tourism in the Caribbean and Latin America. In her paper Heather Tucker considers the contemporary Euro-American and European interests and outrage over the 'barbarity' of anti-homosexuality legislation in countries in Africa. Ourania Tsiakalou pays attention to the massive detentions of trans women that took place in Greece as well as some other instances of transphobia, as it was presented in the media and in the public sphere.

- Description
- Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken wordt gekeken naar kwesties van ras, cultuur en wetenschap met als centrale vraag hoe en op grond waarvan door groepen mensen grenzen tussen 'wij' en 'zij' worden vastgesteld. Met name wordt aandacht geschonken aan de beeldvorming van Afrikanen en zwarte Amerikanen over zichzelf, over Afrika, over blanken en de westerse cultuur. Diverse visies op de relaties van ras en gender worden besproken. Tevens zijn fragmenten van interviews met o.a. Buchi Emecheta en Maryse Condé opgenomen.

- Description
- The authors of this book probe the effects of global and local forces in reshaping notions of gender, race, class, identity, human rights, and community across Africa and its Diaspora. The essays in this collection employ diverse interdisciplinary approaches--drawing from subjects such as history, sociology, religion, anthropology, gender studies, feminist studies--in an effort to centralize gender as a category of analysis in developing critical perspectives in a globalizing world. From this approach the authors, scholars from Africa, Europe and the United States, hope to illuminate the effects of issues such as international migration, globalization, and cultural continuities among diaspora communities on the articulation of women’s agency, community organization, and identity formation at the local and the global level.

- Description
- Van Santen en Schilder laten zien hoe ook in de Afrikanistiek etniciteit niet langer wordt gezien als directe determinant van identiteit. Etniciteit wordt nu vooral instrumenteel gezien, als iets dat groepen of individuen strategisch kunnen inzetten. Zij zijn echter van mening dat etniciteit ook haar emotionele componenten heeft. Daarnaast valt hun op dat sekse in deze debatten vaak helemaal wordt vergeten. Ze inventariseren waar en op welke manier sekse in deze discussie een plaats zou moeten krijgen. Tenslotte gaan zij na hoe een aantal begrippen zoals cultuur, etnische groep, etnische identiteit, gedefinieerd is geraakt.

- Description
- Drawing on archival sources as well as her extensive fieldwork in Tanzania, Hodgson explores the ways identity, development, and gender have interacted to shape the Maasai into who and what they are today. By situating the Maasai in the political, economic, and social context of Tanzania and of world events, Hodgson shows how outside forces, and views of development in particular, have influenced Maasai lifeways, especially gender relations. Attitudes and assumptions of government and development officials who believed that the Maasai must maintain their pastoralist tradition determined the types of development schemes imposed. But rather than reinforce visions of the Maasai as intrepid warriors, development created new gender hierarchies, new responses to the pressures of modernity, and ambivalent attitudes toward education and local, national, and international politics.
