Reason and Passion: Representations of Gender in a Malay Society

---

Michael G. Peletz

Peletz discusses the history and ethnography of gender relations in a Malay society in Negeri Sembilan. He analyses the different ways of heavily gendered symbols of 'reason' and 'passion'  that are set up by Malay Muslims. He also explains the cultural and political processes implicated in the constitution of feminine and masculine identity. Peletz's study is historical and comparative. A valuable book that presents an interesting model for the analysis of gender and culture. Near Fine Paperback First Edition  402 pages with notes, bibliography and index
