See all formats and editions

This carefully crafted volume introduces anthropological approaches to and perspectives on gender.

It combines theoretically and ethnographically based essays in order to examine gender roles and ideology around the world.

Divided thematically into 11 sections, the editors open each section with a succinct introduction to the principal issues.

The articles themselves, both classic and contemporary, are drawn from all fields of anthropology and cover a wide variety of cultures.

The seventh edition contains 11 new entries that reflect more recent developments in the discipline, including topics such as gender identity, transnationalism and female genital cutting.

Additional features to support teaching and learning that are new to this edition include a film list and discussion questions at the end of each entry.

This is an essential resource for students encountering the anthropology of gender for the first time.
