Gendering Global Transformations : Gender,

This book employs gender as a category of analysis to capture the various ways men and women relate in society and the structures that define these relationships and place boundaries on them. It presents alternative conceptual and theoretical approaches that tease out the nuances of gender as mediated by culture, race, and identity in a globalizing world.
