- Description
- This anthology on gender focuses on women and men and the multiple identities that comprise the lives of individuals across gender. Drawing from sources such as research articles, essays and personal narratives, Disch has chosen readings that represent a plurality of perspectives and experiences. Eleven part introductions briefly identify important issues in the general feld of study, describe the readings, and identify the central themes emerging throughout the book. .The anthology addresses race, class, culture, gender, sexual orientation, transgender, disability, age. Issues include, among others, health, violence, socialization, families, education, social change, and the current crisis in the U/S. as a result of Sept. 11.
