- BookFrederick Errington and Deborah Gewertz.Summary: 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. Nielsen 9780521334921 20160528Print 1987
- ArticlePerelson AS, Goldstein B.J Immunol. 1977 May;118(5):1649-54.Using the mathematical theory of direct plaque growth, we have analyzed the expected variation of plaque size with IgM affinity and secretion rate. We use the theory to comment on recent effector cell blockage experiments and show how the theory can be used to determine the change in the secretion rate of a single antibody-forming cell subjected to blockage by a multivalent antigen. We also argue, using the mathematical theory, that under the usual experimental conditions employed in the plaque assay, cells that produce low affinity IgM antibodies will give rise to smaller plaques than cells that produce high affinity IgM antibodies.
