  Centers on an old institution among the Afro-Surinamese working class in which women have multiple sexual relationships with both men and women. These women reject marriage, preferring to create their own families of kin, lovers, and children. Analyzing this phenomenon, known as mati work, this book describes the lives of Afro-Surinamese women.
