Why has culture come to be seen as inherently oppressive to women? In this finely crafted book, [the author] examines the history of legal ideas and institutions in Tanzania - from customary law to human rights - as specific forms of justice that often reflect elite ideas about gender, culture, and social change. Drawing on evidence from Maasai communities, she explores how the legacies of colonial law-making continue to influence contemporary efforts to create laws, codify marriage, criminalize FGM, and contest land grabs by state officials. Despite the easy dismissal by elites of the priorities and perspectives of grassroots women, she shows how Maasai women have always had powerful ways to confront and challenge injustice, express their priorities, and reveal the limits of rights-based legal ideals."--|cBack cover. 588 0 Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Customary law|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85034953|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00002758|zTanzania.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80121275-781 650 0 Women's rights|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85147765|zTanzania.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n80121275-781 650 0 Women, Maasai|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85147393|xLegal status, laws, etc.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99004999|zTanzania.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80121275-781 650 0 Maasai (African people)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85081787|zTanzania|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80121275-781|xSocial conditions.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008850 650 0 Women, Maasai|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85147393|zTanzania|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n80121275-781|xSocial conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001008850 650 0 Non-governmental organizations|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh86007360|xPolitical aspects.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00005651 650 7 Customary law.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/885510 650 7 Social aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354981 650 7 Women's rights.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1178818 650 7 Women, Maasai.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1734132 650 7 Maasai (African people)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1731207 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Non-governmental organizations.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1038524 651 7 Tanzania.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210143 655 0 Electronic book. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHodgson, Dorothy Louise.|tGender, justice, and the problem of culture.|dBloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, [2017]|z9780253025357|w(DLC) 2016039569|w(OCoLC)957506435 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1503912|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
