The book presents an intimate view of this society, told through ethnographically collected life histories, unusually including men's as well as women's. Despite developing significant gender theories (notably reframing work of Judith Butler), and maintaining high academic standards, it remains as readable as a popular novel. Control and Subversion investigates the relationship of gender to the inner workings of social control, such as exposing ways in which Tajik society threatens men's masculinity, thereby bringing them to force family members into conformity, irrespective of the suffering this may cause. It examines how masculine and feminine gender characteristics influence personal relationships and explores gender relations at their most intimate - from the secret musings of adolescent girls, through the painful experiences of young men, to the trauma of sexual initiation. Although largely concentrating on contemporary life, the book also discusses historical materials and Soviet influence on Tajik society. Control and Subversion is essential reading for anyone interested in Central Asia, Muslim societies, the lives of Muslim women, or gender in a Muslim context. 410 0$aAnthropology, culture, and society. 606 $aPost-communism$zTajikistan 606 $aSex customs$zTajikistan 606 $aSocial control$zTajikistan 606 $aWomen$zTajikistan$xSocial conditions 607 $aTajikistan$xSocial conditions$y1991- 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aSex customs 615 0$aSocial control 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.42/09586 700 $aHarris$b Colette$f1948-$01309148 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826624303321 996 $aControl and subversion$93931351 997 $aUNINA
