A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This engaging collection of readings presents a multifaceted view of contemporary gender relations. Using other inequalities such as race, class, and sexual orientation as a “prism of difference,” the readings present gender as it is situated in sexual, racial-ethnic, social class, physical abilities, age, and national citizenship contexts. In addition to articles about men, women, and sexual and immigrant diversity, this reader also includes works on gender and globalization. The editors introduce this wide-ranging collection with a provocative analytical introduction that sets the stage for students' understanding of gender as a socially constructed experience. More than any other gender reader, Gender through the Prism of Difference gives students a clear, current, understanding of gender in a broad social context.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The book takes sex and gender as its major organizing theme, but, significantly, looks at these things in a global, transnational perspective. While most sex and gender books are "diverse" in terms of race, class and sexuality, they are for the most part very U.S.-centered. This book, however, will have 50+ readings, and in this new edition will address some concerns of previous users in the following ways. First, the popular culture section of the book will be strengthened, as studying gender through mass media is increasingly popular and effective with undergraduates. Second, additional attention will be given to the experiences of Muslim women throughout the book. Finally, there will be more on war and militarization.
