<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The indispensable guide to gender studies by one of the world's foremost experts"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>How can we understand gender in the contemporary world? What psychological differences now exist between women and men? How are masculinities and femininities made? And how is gender entwined in global politics and debates over trans issues?</p> <p>Raewyn Connell - one of the world's leading scholars in the field - answers these questions and more. Her book provides a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to modern gender studies, covering empirical research from all parts of the world, in addition to theory and politics. As well as introducing the field, <i>Gender</i> provides a powerful contemporary framework for gender analysis with a strong and distinctive global awareness. Highlighting the multidimensional character of gender relations, Connell shows how to link personal life with large-scale organizational structures, and how gender politics changes its form in changing situations.</p> <p>The fourth edition of this influential book brings the statistical picture of gender inequalities up to date, and offers new close-focus case studies of gender research. Like previous editions, it examines gender politics and global power relations, but with added discussion around contemporary issues of intersectionality, populism, gender-based violence, trans struggles and environmental change. It also speaks at the intimate level, about embodied gender and personal relationships.</p> <i><i>Gender</i> </i>moves from personal experience to global problems, offering a unique perspective on gender issues today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I fully recommend this new edition of <i>Gender</i>, which will allow new generations to follow critical theories about one of the fundamental dimensions of personal and collective life, from the most intimate to the search for a more egalitarian social order. <br /><b>Teresa Valdés, Gender Equality Observatory, Chile<br /></b> <p>Concise, comprehensive and international, <i>Gender: In World Perspective</i> is an ideal text for today's students.
