This new introduction to the sociology of gender and sexuality
offers a fresh take on the importance of these concepts in modern
society. It provides an insight into our rapidly changing attitudes
towards sex and our understanding of masculine and feminine
identities, relating the study of gender and sexuality to wider
social concerns throughout the world and presenting a comprehensive
yet readable summary of recent research and theory. In an
accessible and engaging style, the book demonstrates how thinking
about gender and sexuality can illuminate and enliven other
contemporary sociological debates about social structure, social
change, and culture and identity politics. Emphasis is placed on
the diversity of gendered and sexual lives in different parts of
the world. The book offers detailed coverage of wide-ranging
topics, from international sex-tourism to celebrity culture, from
gender in the work-place to new sexual lifestyles, drawing examples
from everyday life. By demonstrating the links between gender and
sexuality this book makes a clear case for thinking sociologically
about these important and controversial aspects of human identity
and behaviour. The book will be of great value to students in any
discipline looking to understand the roles gender and sexuality
play in our lives.
