Beschreibung

In the early 1990s, "queer anthropology" represented a new and radically different approach to anthropological research on sexuality and gender, but it is now an established subfield of sociocultural anthropology. Queer Anthropology provides a concise, accessible overview of queer anthropology’s academic and activist origins, its key theoretical and methodological principles, its strengths and weaknesses, and how it has changed since its first appearance over thirty years ago.

Each chapter includes discussion questions, recommended readings, and ethnographic examples to illustrate key concepts or themes. The book is written in accessible language for students, instructors, and non-specialist readers interested in how anthropologists think, research, and write about gender, sex, and sexuality. Designed for introductory anthropology, gender, and/or queer studies courses, Queer Anthropology provides important insights into the past, present, and future of queer anthropological research.
