Berkeley, CA, U.S.A: University Of California Press, 1996. First edition. Paperback. Near Fine. 13-2-16. Peletz discusses the history and ethnography of gender relations in a Malay society in Negeri Sembilan.

He also explains the cultural and political processes implicated in the constitution of feminine and masculine identity. Peletz�s study is historical and comparative. A valuable book that presents an interesting model for the analysis of gender and culture. Near Fine Paperback First Edition 402 pages with notes, bibliography and index Weight: 0.8kg.
