1. This article was written while I was the Faculty of Arts Senior Research Fellow at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. During the period of the Fellowship, I was based in Women's Studies, and I am grateful to Professor Maureen Molloy, Dr Heather Worth and Ms Hana Mata'u for making my time there so enjoyable. I am extremely grateful to Heather for comments on this article and for a great deal else as well. My thanks also go to graduate students at the Victoria University in Wellington in New Zealand, who provided useful comment on an earlier version, and to colleagues from the Sociology Department at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, who also provided a sounding board for some of these ideas
