Paper Summary:
In this article, the writer discusses the power and domination demonstrated in relations between men and women. The writer examines these gender issues in East Harlem, making use of the book 'In Search of Respect' by Philippe Bourgois.From the Paper:
"In the world of East Harlem, the El Barrio depicted in Philippe Bourgois' 'In Search of Respect', gender relations are in a state of flux. In response both to trends in the broader society, such as the women's movement, and to changes within traditional Puerto Rican culture as patriarchal authority collapses, gender relations between women and men are shifting. However, as Bourgois records, this shift is often a violent one as gender is often constructed through public displays of power, authority and domination."More papers on Power and Display:
