{"product_id":"9780195167641","title":"Gender Through the Prism of Difference","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe third edition of Gender Through the Prism of Difference adopts a global, transnational perspective on how race, class, and sexual diversity are central to the study of sex and gender. In contrast with other books in this area—which tend to focus on U.S. or European viewpoints—this book features many articles based on research done elsewhere throughout the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editors open this wide-ranging collection with a provocative analytical introduction that sets the stage for understanding gender as a socially constructed experience. Featuring mostly new readings, the book covers timely subjects—such as gender and popular culture, Islam, and men and war—to help students make a connection between the issues raised in the book and current events. It also addresses a number of compelling topics, including the effects of globalization on notions of masculinity, the difficulties faced by Muslim women living in post-9\/11 America, and the perceptions of \"blackness\" worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuiding students through the complex realities of today's gender relationships, Gender Through the Prism of Difference is ideal for undergraduate or graduate courses in the sociology of gender; women's studies; gender roles; the sociology of women; women in society; race, class, and gender; feminist theory; and social inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022522630384,"sku":"9780195167641","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195167641_p0.jpg?v=1763663873","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195167641","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
