Description
The Gender/Sexuality Reader is a sophisticated survey of the best recent work in anthropology on the issues of gender and sexuality. The essays are diverse and engaging: colonial rule in Indonesia, the sexological legacy of scientific racism in Europe, eugenics in Singapore, the political-economic context of motherhood in Brazil. Developing the insights of social constructionism this reader shows how gender, sexuality, and power are historically connected and practically intertwined. Contributors include: Lila Abu-Lughod, Janice Boddy, Susan Bordo, Judith Butler, Jane Collier, Jane L. Collins, Teresa de Lauretis, Janadas Devan, Micaela di Leonardo, John D'Emilio, Ann Fausto-Sterli
