Ruth Landes Livres
Ruth Schlossberg Landes était une anthropologue culturelle américaine renommée pour ses études perspicaces sur les cultes candomblé brésiliens. Son travail a exploré en profondeur les phénomènes culturels, les relations ethniques et les complexités de la race et du genre. Elle a également mené d'importantes recherches sur le terrain auprès des peuples autochtones d'Amérique du Nord et a examiné le bilinguisme et l'impact de la culture sur l'éducation. Landes est aujourd'hui reconnue comme une pionnière dans l'étude des relations raciales et de genre.

In the 1930s, young anthropologist Ruth Landes crafted this startlingly intimate glimpse into the lives of Ojibwa women, a richly textured ethnography widely recognized as a classic study of gender relations in a native society. By collaborating closely with Maggie Wilson, a woman of Scots-Cree descent who grew up among the Ojibwas, Landes was able to explore the complexity of Ojibwa women's experiences in compelling and often uncompromising detail. Sexuality and violence, marital rights and responsibilities, and the constraints and opportunities afforded by traditional and modern aspects of Ojibwa culture are all thoroughly and thoughtfully examined in this study. Landes's pioneering work continues to inspire lively debate today, her study having thrown into relief essential questions about the nature of gender relations among native peoples and how to best interpret them.
