Where it came from
Published in 1989 as a contribution to the Cambridge University Press series on Pacific studies, this work emerged during a pivotal moment in anthropology when scholars were increasingly challenging the gendered biases of earlier ethnographic research. Margaret Jolly, a distinguished anthropologist specializing in the Pacific, crafted this analysis to examine how indigenous social structures and colonial legacies intersected to shape family life and gender roles across the region.
The book is widely regarded for its sophisticated theoretical approach, which moved beyond simplistic binary models of male and female roles. Jolly’s work was noted for its nuanced exploration of historical change and its emphasis on the agency of Pacific peoples. Since its publication, it has remained a foundational text in academic discourse, frequently cited for its role in bridging feminist theory with detailed, fieldwork-based ethnographic study.
