In the realm of the diamond queen : marginality in an out-of-the-way place
Tsing , Anna Lowenhaupt
In the realm of the diamond queen : marginality in an out-of-the-way place - Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1993 - xvi, 350 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
In this ethnography the author challenges not only anthropologists and feminists but all those who study culture to reconsider some of their dearest assumptions. By choosing to locate her study among Meratus Dayaks, a marginal and marginalized group in the deep rainforest of South Kalimantan, Indonesia, she deliberately sets into motion the familiar and stubborn urban fantasies of self and other. Unusual encounters with her remarkably creative and unconventional Meratus friends and teachers, however, provide the opportunity to rethink notions of tradition, community, culture, power, and gender--and the doing of anthropology.
