As society shapes the expression of sexual desire through cultural
images and social institutions, sociologists examine how sexual
behavior shapes, and is shaped by, social norms. Several of the
most eminent and readable social theorists drive this important new
line of sociological thought. Gathered here are thirty-two of the
best essays on the sociology of sex and gender.
The essays included here reflect differences in race, gender,
and class and demonstrate how different social groups experience
different sets of social norms. Topics include gender and sex
theory, identity, childhood and adolescent sexuality, the
objectification of women, sexuality and religion, leisure and
recreation, politics and social change, and the possible future of
sexual relationships. These essays also explore contemporary issues
that remain relevant to students and to current theoretical
debates. Editorial introductions give further direction and
insight, making this an ideal introduction to sex and gender.
