Assignment task: Analyze the account regarding the sex/gender system in one of the following texts - Wilson, Evans-Pritchard 1+2, Tillion. In your answer, follow broadly the set of questions that Rubin articulates on page 63: In short, there are other questions to ask of a marriage system than whether or not it exchanges women. Is the woman traded for a woman, or is there an equivalent? Is this equivalent only for women, or can it be turned into something else? If it can be turned into something else, is it turned into political power or wealth? On the other hand, can bridewealth be obtained only in marital exchange, or can it be obtained from elsewhere?
Can women be accumulated through amassing wealth? Can wealth be accumulated by disposing of women? Is a marriage system part of a system of stratification?
Compare your analysis to the one offered by the author of the reading you chose.
