As an early reviewer wrote, "This is one of the clearest, most concise statements on social theory in general, let alone on gender, that I have ever read." Now updated, MasciaLees and Black continue to expertly trace how anthropologists have used different theoretical orientations to examine the nature and determinants of gender roles and gender inequality.From the nineteenth century on, anthropologists have used different theoretical orientations to understand the emotionally charged topic of gender. With an insightful look at evolutionary, materialist, psychological, structuralist, poststructural, sociolinguistic, and selfreflexive approaches, this distinctive module also examines how these approaches best explain gender and sexual oppression in a global world. The authors pack great amounts of valuable information into such a slim volume yet leave readers with digestible material that does more than cover the surface of anthropological perspectives on gender roles and stratification. Readers gain insights and tools to develop their own critical analyses of gender.Titles of related interest from Waveland Press: EndicottEndicott, The Headman Was a Woman: The Gender Egalitarian Batek of Malaysia (ISBN 9781577665267); MasciaLees, Gender and Difference in a Globalizing World: TwentyFirstCentury Anthropology (ISBN 9781577665984); and Nanda, Gender Diversity: Crosscultural Variations, 2E (ISBN 9781478611264).
