Publisher Description

Lila Abu-Lughod draws on anthropological and feminist insights to construct a critical ethnography of a small Awlad 'Ali Bedouin community in Egypt. She explores how the telling of stories of everyday life challenges the power of anthropological theory to render adequately the lives of others and the way feminist theory appropriates Third World women.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Abu-Lughod incorporates stories by Bedouin women into a critique of traditional ethnography.
