44463) GENDER THROUGH THE PRISM OF DIFFERENCE , Maxine Baca Zinn , Pierrette Hondagneu Sotelo , Michael A. Messner , Oxford University Press 2005 , The third edition ofGender Through the Prism of Differenceadopts 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.

The 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.

Guiding students through the complex realities of today`s gender relationships,Gender Through the Prism of Differenceis 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.
