"This book provides an important and informative contribution tothe field of gender and sexuality studies. The authors guide thereader through each of the book's subcomponents in a manner thatenables these to work well as stand-alone segments, as well ascohesive parts of the overall book." TimesHigher Education "To a scholar of gender and sexuality, who has had doubts aboutthe underpinnings of work in psychology, who searches forintersecting theories, and who has criticized the positivistleanings in her field, Gender & Sexuality: SociologicalApproaches has been amply rewarding. And after reading this newand engaging book, cover to cover, it seems important to say thatevery respectable feminist psychologist should be aware of thesociological theories that underpin much of our work as well as thenew directions that should inform it." Sex Roles "The book offers a thorough overview both of long-standingdebates around gender and sexuality and of current issues. Itnicely locates the debates within the sociological tradition, andthis provides a distinctive and valuable feature. Not theleast of the merits of this book is its international focus, and itwill prove invaluable for students exploring the diverse pattern ofsexuality and gender in an age of globalization. The authorsare at the cutting edge of their subject, and so is thebook." Jeffrey Weeks, author of Sexuality, Third Edition andEmeritus Professor of Sociology, London South BankUniversity "Finally, abook that bridges feminism and critical sexstudies. Rhamn and Jackson have written a smart, accessibleoverview of the dynamic relationship between gender and sexualitythat will seriously engage an undergraduate audience. Thisbook teaches students by raising questions and providing theintellectual resources to navigate the complex terrain ofcontemporary sexual and gender politics. One of the few'must-use' classroom texts I've read in a long time." Steven Seidman, author of The Social Construction ofSexuality , State University of New York
