About this ebook
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. 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. The latest edition incorporates new material on hijras in Bangladesh, three gender alternatives in Indonesia, and global changes related to migration, health, and communication. Concept-reinforcing questions have
been added to each chapter. Gender Diversity, Second Edition 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.
