Sexual politics-from economic equality to anti-gay violence-is a
vast area of debate. This exceptional book seeks to integrate
gender and sexuality into the mainstream of social and political
theory with the aim of challenging and transforming these
traditional areas. The book is an original contribution to the
theory, setting out for the first time a systematic framework for
the social analysis of gender and sexuality. It is written with a
clarity and scope that also make it useful as an introductory
textbook sexual politics. The book reviews theories of gender from
feminism to psychoanalysis, sex role theory, and sociobiology. It
maps the structure of gender relations in contemporary life and in
history; proposes a new approach to femininity and masculinity; and
offers a wide-ranging analysis of sexual politics and the dynamics
of change, from working-class feminism to the dilemmas of the
"men's movement." Connell has produced a major work of synthesis
and scholarship which will be of unique value to students and
professionals in sociology, politics, psychology, women's studies,
gay studies, and to anyone interested in sexual politics.
