This fully updated new edition of Gender in Cross-Cultural Perspective carefully introduces and responds to changes in anthropological approaches to and perspectives on gender. With two new editors and new authors from the Global South and underrepresented communities, it combines theoretically and ethnographically based chapters to examine gender roles and ideology around the world.

The books is divided thematically into five parts, with the editors opening each section with a succinct introduction to the principal issues. The book retains some of the classic chapters while offering new contributions and extended discussions throughout on methodology. It also has entirely new contributions that reflect more recent developments in the discipline, including more emphasis on LGBTQ+ communities, COVID, and migration. This new edition also features additional support for teaching and learning, including a film list and discussion questions, that are now offered as supplemental online materials.

The eighth edition of Gender in Cross-Cultural Perspective continues to be an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students encountering the anthropology of gender for the first time.
