| dc.description.abstract | This article highlights Afro-indigenous Miskitu women's position and agency on the
increasingly cash-oriented Miskito Coast (northeastern Honduras). While Miskitu
men (the main breadwinners) work as deep-water lobster divers, women live in
matrilocal groups and use sexual magic to beguile men into giving them their
earnings. The women’s discourse of sexual magic contests, but does not subvert, the
male-dominant gender ideology of the lobster-diving economy. Nevertheless,
Miskitu women have refashioned their gender identities, and their views of money,
into empowering and strategic practices for domestic security. (Gender, magic,
money, women’s strategies) | |
