A Companion to Gender Studies

A companion to Gender Studies presents a unified and comprhensive vision of its field, and its new directions. It demonstrates in action the rich interplay between gender and other markers of social position and (dis)privilege, such as race, class, ethnicity, and nationality. The contributions are heterogeneous, ranging from essays statements, even provocations, to state-of-the-art overviews. Leading experts in the field cover all the significant ideas of concern to Gender Studies, including the engagements and entanglements with Women´s Studies and Masculinity Studies. The essays benefit from the fruits of decades of earlier work by feminist and race critical scholars to understand analyze, and challenge the distinct ways in which life is gendered.
