Product Description
Anthropologist Serena Nanda has heralded the importance of understanding human similarities and differences throughout her writing and teaching career. This was especially evidenced in her groundbreaking work, Gender Diversity: Crosscultural Variations, a masterful, far-reaching examination of the relationships between sex, gender, and sexuality and how they are culturally constructed.The latest edition of Gender Diversity incorporates new material on hijras in Bangladesh, three gender alternatives in Indonesia, and global changes related to migration, communication, and health. Concept-reinforcing review questions have also been added to each chapter. Throughout, rich ethnographic examples representing nine cultures illuminate the need to analyze sex/gender roles and identities on the basis of broad cultural patterns and distinct cultural features, including social class, ethnicity, age, religion, urban or rural residence, and exposure to Western cultures.
Gender Diversity, 2/E encourages readers to think in new ways about what they consider natural, normal, or morally right. As a concise supplement with multidisciplinary appeal, the enhanced edition is sure to energize the undergraduate classroom. Includes glossary and selected films list.
