Making the Mark

Gender, Identity, and Genital Cutting (Ohio RIS Africa Series Book 93)

Miroslava Prazak

Explore the practice of female genital cutting and the cultural context surrounding it in Making the Mark. Miroslava Prazak presents a gritty ethnography that weaves together the perspectives of girls, boys, family members, circumcisers, political and religious leaders in a rural Kenyan farming society. Discover how gender, identity, and social status intersect with this controversial tradition, and learn about the evolving perspectives of practitioners amidst anti-cutting campaigns led by international NGOs, local activists, and donor organizations. Set against the backdrop of the rolling hills of southwestern Kenya, Making the Mark provides a rich mosaic of voices contributing to the debate over this life-altering ritual.

@82_Streetcar It’s an excellent book. Definitely aimed at an academic audience but rich with detail and theoretical sophistication, plus clear intercultural friendship and regard      источник
