Description

Book Synopsis
Provides a wide-ranging investigation of the gendered nature of historical memory and its influence on the development of the Mara region of Tanzania over the past 150 years. Shetler's exploration of oral traditions and histories opens new vistas for understanding how women and men in this culture tell their stories and assert their roles.

Trade Review
A major accomplishment. Shetler persistently approaches female-centered knowledge of the past as an alternative to male-centered forms. The result is a social history of patronage and rights networks in which female-curated knowledge is central. Guaranteed to be of wide interest among students of gender in history, anthropology, and East African studies."" - David J. Schoenbrun, Northwestern University
