The Chambri of Papua New Guinea are well known as being the
'Tchambuli' of Margaret Mead's influential work, Sex and
Temperament, in which she described them as a people among whom, in
contrast to Western society, women dominated over men. In this
book, however, Frederick Errington and Deborah Gewertz re-analyse
Mead's data, and present original material of their own, to reveal
that Mead misinterpreted the Chambri situation, and that in fact
Chambri women neither dominate Chambri men, nor vice versa. They
use this reformulated interpretation to discuss the relevance of
the Chambri case for the understanding of gender relations in
Western society today, showing that male dominance is not
inevitable. At the same time, they also use their knowledge of
cultural alternatives to clarify Western feminist objectives.
