About this item
THE BOOK addresses topics of importance for students and scholars of multiple disciplines-including anthropology, sociology, gender studies, Asian studies, religion, geography, political science, and history. This engagingly written booklet-designed for use in undergraduate humanities and social science courses-has great potential for use in the classroom. It will also appeal to specialists in the field owing to Peletz's ability to present sophisticated yet accessible discussions of a broad range of topics. Drawing on the vast body of scholarship of those who have either grown up in the region or have spent many years engaged in anthropological fieldwork or other research, Peletz provides a masterful overview of gender, sexuality, and body politics in modern Asia, presenting multiple perspectives in an accessible, jargon-free style. The "Suggestions for Further Reading" section at the back of the booklet provides students and scholars with a comprehensive guide for further research. "This is a very important book. Addressing ideologies of female inferiority, practices of gender transgression, and patterns of sexual violence, Peletz takes an unflinching look at the politics of bodies and intimacy over a very large area of the contemporary world." Sherry B. Ortner Distinguished Professor of Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles
