Gender Through the Prism of Difference

Gender Through the Prism of Difference

Gender Through the Prism of Difference , Sixth Edition, adopts a global, transnational perspective on how race, class, and sexual diversity are central to the study of sex and gender. In contrast with other books in this area--which tend to focus on U.S. or European viewpoints--this wide-ranging anthology features many articles based on research done elsewhere throughout the world. Now in its sixth edition, the book features nineteen new readings covering compelling subjects like transgender identities and public policies, Native and Muslim women, policing and incarceration, the intersection of gender and immigration, gender and disabilities, and the #MeToo social movement. " Gender Through the Prism of Difference is among the most comprehensive books available. Not only does it include a terrific range of authors and research methods, but the substantive topics themselves are incredibly timely. It was the first book I ever used to teach gender and I haven't switched."--Billy James Ulibarrí, University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley "The intersectional nature of Gender Through the Prism of Difference is excellent. Rather than merely addressing 'men vs. women,' this book examines the ways in which race, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, class, age, and other dimensions of inequality influence constructions of gender and the gendered experiences of individuals."--Erin Anderson, Washington College " Gender Through the Prism of Difference has excellent coverage; the articles are rich in theory and methods."--Jaita Talukdar, Loyola University New Orleans The most intersectional gender anthology on the market Maxine Baca Zinn is Professor Emerita in the Department of Sociology at Michigan State University.
