Book Summary
"Plundered Kitchens, Empty Wombs" examines the symbolic language of food,
fertility, and infertility in a small, mountainous African kingdom to explore
more general notions of gender, modernity, and cultural identity.
In the Cameroon grassfields, an area of high fertility, women hold a paradoxical
fear of infertility. By combining symbolic, political-economic, and historical
analyses, Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg traces the way reproductive threat is
invoked in struggles over gender and ethnic identities. Women's fears of
reproductive disorders, she finds, are an important mode of expression for their
worries about much larger issues, such as rural poverty, brought about or
exacerbated by political and economic changes in this century.
A lively case study
