Summary: "Addresses topics of the highest significance for multiple disciplines--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, as well as by advanced high school students and their teachers--has great potential for use in the classroom, encouraging debate and discussion. 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 by those who have either grown up in the region or 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"-- Provided by publisher
