A detailed account of the lives of men and women in a South Indian fishing community reveals new ways of framing gender relations, the body, and kinship. The ethnographic account is set within the context of social and cultural theory, notably the ideas of Judith Butler, Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault."
