Joan, for the gender side of your concern, I strongly recommend certain
"classroom classics" like: Shostak's *Nisa* (combined with the film,
*N!ai*), the Murphy's *Women of the Forest,* Melissa Llewelyn-Davies film
*Masai Women* combined with her article in *Sexual Meanings* entitled
"Women, Warriors, and Patriarchs." Getting into more complex societies
people I know have had great luck with Fernea's *Guests of the Sheik,*
and I've enjoyed teaching Anne Allison's *Nightwork: Pleasure and
Corporate Masculinity in Tokyo Hostess Clubs.*
On children cross-culturally, take a look at Bambi Scheiffelin's *The
Give and Take of Everyday Life.* It's a classic, though maybe not a
classroom classic.
Hope this is some help.
