Reviews
"What Billson gives us . . . is seven group portraits, full of foods and laughter, that look at the oppression and triumphs of women in seven contemporary Canadian cultural groups. And she offers a conclusion that evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of . . . each group and suggests how to use these differences to work for justice and freedom in the whole society." -American Review of Canadian Studies "Janet Billson's ethnographic study of Canadian women representing a diversity of cultural traditions is vividly descriptive. Her chapters are written so as to 'take the reader with her' as she travels from one group to another, revealing the richness of these women and their families." -Ruth A. Wallace, George Washington University "Riveting and timely, this book is must reading for anyone interested in the growing field of women's studies." -Richard Majors, National Council of African-American Men "Part of the genius of Keepers of the Culture is that it presents valuable information about how women and men work out their power relations in intimacy and across cultures. The promise of Keepers of the Culture is that even though traditional cultures are at the heart of women's being, women can also reshape cultures to meet their needs for growth and political representation. Thus, Billson inspires all women to harness their individual and collective abilities to move beyond their common pain." -Margaret Hall, Georgetown University

Synopsis
This work offers insights into the question of why some women embrace the ideals of the women's movement, and others are hostile to it. By exploring women's lives in seven distinct and intact North American cultures - Iroquois, Mennonite, Innuit, Blood, West Indian, Chinese and Ukranian, - the author reveals how their roles and the balance of power between men and women have shifted as their communities have moved from traditional to more contemporary lifestyles.

    Beautiful Borders Classic tomb, condition even better than expected, extremely well protected and packed for its travels, most fair shipping charge and very good value for the cost, while listed as good condition, suspect it was in unused new condition and better than described. Would highly recommend and do business again. Received quickly for the distance it had to travel and was especially well packed for the the extra travil it took to arrive.
