Reviews

“This great book was a pleasure to read because it explores how the violent aspect of humanity exists alongside its loving aspects. It would interest anthropologists, psychologists, and psychoanalysts but also those studying and teaching on gender, sexuality, power, and philosophies of embodiment.” (Andrew Lattas, Psychology of Women Quarterly, Vol. 46 (2), June, 2022)


“Gillian Gillison’s new monograph is based on her long-term field research among the Gimi people of the Eastern Highlands Province in Papua New Guinea. … Gillison produced an outstanding empirical ethnographic corpus in publications that combine superb ethnographic information and a systematic psychoanalytic interpretive framework pivoting on Freud’s foundational texts and seminal insights. Without doubt, She Speaks Her Anger represents a new threshold of Gillison’s ethnographic and theoretical research and thought.” (Jadran Mimica, Ethos, Journal of the Society for Psychological Anthropology, Vol. 51 (1), March, 2023) “This great book was a pleasure to read because it explores how the violent aspect of humanity exists alongside its loving aspects. It would interest anthropologists, psychologists, and psychoanalysts but also those studying and teaching on gender, sexuality, power, and philosophies of embodiment.” (Andrew Lattas, Psychology of Women Quarterly, Vol. 46 (2), June, 2022)
