Summary, etc. Accessible, timely, and stimulating, this provocative anthology provides an overview of the cutting-edge<br/>research findings and theoretical frameworks in the field of gender studies. The “kaleidoscope" metaphor<br/>helps students see the complex and dynamic meaning and practice of gender-especially as it interacts<br/>with other social prisms. Focusing on contemporary contributions to gender studies while incorporating<br/>frameworks and findings from the classical foundations of the field, these statements by top scholars and<br/>activists—twenty new to this edition-explain how the complex, evolving patterns of gender are created<br/>and changed by people as they interact at individual, group, and institutional levels of life.<br/>NEW TO THIS EDITION<br/>Twenty new readings offer fresh perspectives in a number of key areas, such as<br/>• Sex and gender diversity, including the lives of intersex and transgender people<br/>• Cross-national perspectives on gender, from Thailand, Ghana, and Ecuador<br/>• Contemporary social movements for gender justice<br/>Gender in the context of intimate relationships and family life<br/>Updated chapter introductions include, for example, the most recent data available<br/>on wages and household relationships in the United States.<br/>KEY FEATURES<br/>• The authors' introduction provides an overview of key theories in the<br/>field, particularly theories based on a social-constructionist perspective.<br/>• Chapter introductions contextualize the literature in each part of the book,<br/>introduce the readings, and illustrate how they relate to analyses of gender.<br/>• Questions to consider at the beginning of each reading help students focus<br/>on key points as they read.<br/>• Topics for Further Examination at the end of each chapter encourage<br/>students to take their understanding beyond the book.
