Moodie takes readers to a range of settings, together with families, tribal council conferences, and marriage ceremony fairs, to bare the aspirations which are expressed in every one. Crucially, she demonstrates how such aspiration and identity-building are strongly gendered, requiring assorted tendencies required of guys and ladies within the pursuit of collective social uplift.
