330 .. $a "Historicising Gender and Sexuality features a diverse collection of essays that shed
new light on the historical intersections between gender and sexuality across time
and space. Features a wide and diverse range of scholarship to explore the historical
intersections between gender and sexuality across space and time Demonstrates both
the particularities of specific formulations of gender and sexuality and the nature
of the relationship between the categories themselves Presents evidence that careful
and contextualised analysis of the shifting relationship of gender and sexuality illuminates
broader historical processes"--Provided by publisher ; "Gender and sexuality are inextricable
components of the human experience that remain as complex today as throughout world
history. Historicising Gender and Sexuality features a thought-provoking collection
of essays that shed important new light on the historical intersections between gender
and sexuality across time and space. Several of the authors conclude that the constructions,
practices, and experiences of gender and sexuality are far more entangled and mutually
constitutive than previous scholarship has suggested. A wide swath of topics in various
historical contexts are explored - from sexual activities in sixteenth-century New
Spain to contemporary Miami; from attitudes revealed in Chinese sexology to American
nudist magazines; and from the experiences of free women of colour in the British
Caribbean to ideas put forth by 20th-century Egyptian reformers. Essays demonstrate
the particularities not just of specific formulations of gender and sexuality in different
historical contexts, but of the very nature of the relationship between the categories
themselves. Through a rich diversity of scholarship, the essays offer ample evidence
that careful and contextualised analysis of the shifting relationship of gender and
sexuality illuminates broader historical processes. This book offers revealing insights
into the myriad ways in which gender and sexuality have crossed paths with broader
relations of power in a wide range of locations and historical contexts"--Provided
