520 _a"'The social life of gender' provides a comprehensive approach to gender as an organizing principle of institutions, history, and unequal interpersonal relations. This new title will develop students' capacity to use gender analysis to question social life more broadly, by presenting a critical sociology based on the unique insights gleaned from the study of gender. Through bold, concise, and intellectually generative writing, the authors explore culture, geopolitics, and the economy, providing students with a succinct, accessible, and critical grasp of core debates in the sociology of gender. Key features: the text is driven by an interest in unequal relations of power and how gender informs and is reinforced in institutions and other large-scale historical processes; global perspectives are woven throughout the book for today's increasingly globalized students; the book focuses on understanding not just gender but the social world through a gendered lens; the practical application of theoretical themes shows specific arenas of life not necessarily considered 'gendered' on the surface." -- rear cover.
