This accessible introduction to gender and sexuality theory offers
a comprehensive overview and critique of the key contemporary
literature and debates in feminism, sexuality studies and men's
studies.
Chris Beasley's clear and concise introduction combines a
wide-ranging survey of the major theorists and key concepts in an
ever-growing and often passionately debated field.
The book contextualizes a wide range of feminist perspectives,
including: modernist, liberal, postmodern, queer and gender
difference feminism; and in the realm of sexuality studies covers
modernist liberationism, social constructionism, transgender
theorising and queer theory. In men's studies, Chris Beasley
examines areas of debate ranging from gender and masculinity to
questions of race, ethnicity, imperialism and gay masculinities.
Interconnections between the subfields are highlighted, and Beasley
considers the implications of body theory for all three.
Key theorists covered include:
Altman- Brod- Butler - Califia- Carbado- Connell- Dowsett
-Grosz- Halberstam- Hook - Jackson- Jagose- Nussbaum- Rich-
Seidman- Spivak- Stoltenberg- Weeks- Whittle- Wolf-
Wollstonecraft
The only book of its kind to draw together all the important
strands of gender analysis, Gender and Sexuality is a timely and
impressive overview that is invaluable to students and academics
taking courses on gender and feminist theory, sexuality and
masculinity.
