Gender Through the Prism of Difference

Gender Through the Prism of Difference

<em>Gender Through the Prism of Difference</em> adopts a global, transnational perspective on how race,<br>class, and sexual diversity are central to the study of sex and gender. In contrast with other books in<br>this area--which tend to focus on U.S. or European viewpoints--this wide-ranging anthology features<br>many articles based on research done elsewhere throughout the world. Now in its fifth edition,<br>the book opens with a revised and updated Introduction that sets the stage for understanding gender<br>as a socially constructed experience. Featuring twenty-eight new readings, this edition covers<br>compelling subjects like transgendered people, intersex issues, men and masculinity, sexual and<br>gender violence, disabilities, obesity, reproductive technologies, educational testing, aging and<br>ageism, and Occupy Wall Street.<br>
