Monaghan – The Covenants with Earth and Rain Sample Clauses

Monaghan – The Covenants with Earth and Rain. Exchange, Sacrifice, and Revelation in Mixtec Sociality The next work that will be analyzed is The covenants with earth and rain: exchange, sacrifice, and revelation in Mixtec sociality by the U.S.A. anthropologist Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (1995). This extensive work focuses on the Mixtec community of Santiago Nuyoo, in the Mixteca Alta region of Oaxaca. Monaghan discusses, among other things, marriage, kinship, cosmology, ritual, and gift exchange within Mixtec society. The original aim of the author was to study social and cultural change in an indigenous community, but he decided that before he could make such statements he needed to get to know the community (Monaghan, 1995: xi). This starting point was positive. It would mean the author would be placing the studied community in the context of contemporary Mexico and the daily reality this implies, instead of getting stuck, as many anthropologists, in an ‘indigenous bubble’ where time has seemingly stopped. Concerning his sources, Monaghan states that he got his information from the inhabitants of Santiago Nuyoo (Monaghan, 1995: xiii-xiv). But further on, it remains unclear what his concrete sources were. He does say he spoke both to women and men (Monaghan, 1995: 42), and in his work he has indeed attention for both sexes. This can be seen in subtitles such as “males and females in the household” (Monaghan, 1995: 55), or “cargo as a gendered activity” (Monaghan, 1995: 172). Xxxxxxxx describes the daily household and cooking activities of women, and talks about the division of labor. According to Monaghan, Nuyootecos say a household needs a man and a woman to function correctly; at “a basic level” they are complementary. Husband and wife also stand together in relation to the community. For example, during the fiestas related to the life cycle, men and women work together, having each their specific tasks (Monaghan, 1995: 55-56). Xxxxxxxx starts off well, but then he loses himself in cultural relativism. There is a social and economic dependence between men and women of Nuyoo. Monaghan acknowledges that couples can have fights and violence can occur, but most marriages are stable because, according to Monaghan, they are not prepared for a life on themselves. Couples stay together because they believe that is what they should do. Furthermore, the options for single women are limited. This makes that women with violent partners even prefer not to leave: “Women who leave their husbands usually decide to return becau...
