The Traffic in Hierarchy - Masculinity and Its Others in Buddhist Burma

About the author

Ward Keeler is associate professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin.

Summary

Until its recent political thaw, Burma was closed to most foreign researchers, and fieldwork-based research was rare. In The Traffic in Hierarchy, one of the few such works to appear in recent years, author Ward Keeler combines close ethnographic attention to life in a Buddhist monastery with a broad analysis of Burman gender ideology.
