Abstract

Reviews Brinkman's dissertation on how Kikuyu gender norms and relations are expressed in oral and written literature (Research School CNWS, 1996, 312p). Says her study "suffers at times from an eclectic use of theories and terminologies, but [it] discusses pivotal questions as to how narratives imaginatively express and contest social norms."
