Raising a host of issues concerning gender identity, hostility between the sexes, and the relationships between myth, culture, and personal experience, Herdt provides a vivid and convincing portrait of how Sambia men experience their sexual development.Herdt, Gilbert H. is the author of 'Guardians of the Flutes Idioms of Masculinity', published 1994 under ISBN 9780226327495 and ISBN 0226327493.
