Sambach brings together an ethnograhic study of a school and
community in East Africa. Stambach focuses on the role school plays
in the development of the children's identity and relationships to
their parents and community, as well as in the development of the
region. At issue here are the competing influences of Western
modernity and the cultural traditions of East Africa-ideas about
gender roles, sexuality, identity, and family and communal
obligations are all at stake. Stambach looks at the controversial
practice of female circumcision in the context of school and
community teachings about girls' bodies and examines cultural
signifiers like music, clothing and food to discuss the tensions in
the region.
