It is designed to demonstrate in action the rich interplay between gender and other markers of social position and (dis)privilege, such as race, class, ethnicity, and nationality. The book presents a unified and comprehensive vision of gender studies, and its new directions, injecting a much-needed infusion of new ideas into the field. It is organized thematically and written in a lucid and lively fashion, each chapter gives insightful consideration to the differing views on its topic, and also clarifies each contributor's own position.
