Chapter 23 Index
Each volume in the series consists of commissioned brief biographies of persons from either one country or a region, selected to represent a broad coverage of subregions, class, race and ethnicity, and gender issues. These essays are intended to personalize the collective experience of grand themes, national myths, ethnic stereotypes, and gender relationships. And in some cases these stories highlight the irrelevance of national events and global processes for men and women simply engaged in everyday life.
