Description
Book SynopsisMarching against Gender Practice asks why the majority of people in the Basque town of Hondarribia do not accept womenâs broader participation in the Alarde parade which represents locality, regionalism, and nationalism. It is centered on two opposing gender worldviews between the betikoak traditionalists and Women of Mugarrietakoa feminists.
Trade ReviewA timely rethinking of gender and ritual in relation to recent approaches to memory, cognition, and ‘the past in the present.’ Linstroth delves beneath the calm surface of everyday life to reveal some of the key tensions expressed in competing views of gender and historical memory. This study will resonate well beyond its ethnographic context. -- David E. Sutton, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
