Synopsis "Iron, Gender, and Power: Rituals of Transformation in African Societies (African Systems of Thought) "

[Herbert] has constructed a model of power relationships structured upon gender and age, and derived from male transformative processes, and in so doing has written a notable, and most enjoyable, book." ―African HistoryHerbert examines with great care and thoroughness the relationships between gender and power and the rationales that give them social form.... [Her] analytical ability is outstanding." ―Patrick McNaughtonThis book is a well-written and essential study of the place of belief in African material culture." ―International Journal of African Historical Studies Herbert relates the beliefs and practices associated with iron working in African cultures to other transformative activities―chiefly investiture, hunting, and pottery making―to propose a gender/age-based theory of power.
