Opis

This reader offers students an overview of some of the most significant sociological work on gender produced over the last three decades of the 20th-century. The text is informed by an understanding of gender as both a structural social division and a set of everyday social practices. The readings cover both theoretical and empirical work representing a range of perspectives and each section includes selections which address the intersection of gender with differences of race, class and sexuality.
