Summary: A collection of the best work on cultural issues of gender.
Comment: Situated Lives is a collection of the most interesting up-to-date research examining cultural values and gender issues such as abortion, reproduction, the meanings of 'macho', the use of Central American women as underpaid/ overworked domestic workers, and women's issues in different areas of work in different countries. Each of the articles is careful to situate its findings in particular national/cultural/socio- economic contexts to avoid broad generalizations and instead work to understand specific dynamics. Contrary to the amazon.com review, I find the writting eloquent and topical. If you are interested in issues of women and work, gender in Third World countries and different ethnic groups of the US, or cultural questions that are key in our 'mulitcultural' world, I highly recommend this book.
