The Decency of Inequality (Oslo Studies in Social Anthropology)

In this fourth volume in the series Oslo Studies in Social Anthropology, the author seeks to understand why women in Santa Cecilia, a farmer community of Italian descent in Argentina, choose their own subordination, and how their choices are linked to structural characteristics of society and to gender imagery and ideology. In addition to providing a comprehensive historical background, the author bases her study on an analysis of three mutually interdependent empirical domains: the first refers to the province of labour, the gendered organization of work; the second explores the structures of power and authority, both secular and religious; the third evokes the dimension of sexuality and procreation, the emotional lives and relationships of the inhabitants.
