This anthology introduces readers to the most significant topics in the field of anthropology of gender--drawing not only from classic sources, but also from the most recent, diverse literature on gender roles and ideology around the world. A clear, accessible approach to the subject matter includes topics such as biology, gender, and human evolution; gender and prehistory; domestic and public worlds; the cultural construction of gender and personhood; culture and sexuality; division of labor; property and the state; household and kinship; ritual and religion; politics; reproduction; colonialism, development, and the global economy. For individuals who appreciate how gender roles and gender ideologies are culturally constructed in political and economic contexts.
