This thoughtful and accessible book provides a critical examination
of the central debates attached to conceptualizing sexuality as a
site of knowledge and politics. These are explored in chapters on
the meaning of heterosexuality, sexual citizenship and the
associated notions of sexual rights and obligations, queer theory
and its relationship with feminisms, both new' and old'. Also
included is discussion of responses to the HIV//AIDS epidemic and
the implications for understandings of gender and sexuality.
At a time where, after decades of progress in gender and sexual
rights, people in many parts of the world are facing new forms of
resistance and opposition to gender equality, this timely
publication confirms the continuing importance and relevance of
gender and women's studies. The fifth edition of this best-selling
textbook provides a comprehensive overview of key issues and
debates in gender and feminist theory. With fully revised chapters
written by specialists across a range of core topics including
sexuality, race, bodies, family, masculinity, methodologies and
migration, this clearly written but rigorous collection examines
contemporary debates and provides helpful examples and questions to
consider. Furthermore, it continues to reflect the shift from
women's studies to gender studies, incorporating coverage of
masculinity throughout, as well as discussing live debates such as
around global activism, transgender rights and the environment. It
continues to be an indispensable resource for students, academics
and anyone interested in this lively field. New to this Edition: -
A new chapter on gender and migration - Expanded discussion of
transgender rights as well as masculinity studies - Brings seven
new contributors to the collection; with newly authored chapters on
Gender and Environment, Gender and Education, Gender and Sexuality
and Gender and Race - Fully revised and updated with new material
and new case examples - Greater attention to intersectional
approaches and international reach
