Product Description

Product Description
Is it possible to move beyond the male-female gender binary system? What happens to gender theory when we consider sex and gender identities as more than just 'male' or 'female'? Crucially, what are the implications of gender and sexual fluidity and multiplicity for social policy, citizenship, new social movements and democracy? Gender Politics challenges ideas that we are all either male or female, and gay or straight. It explores the experiences of people who transgress these categories, and the social exclusion that they face. Surya Monro addresses topical debates concerning gender, and looks at different ways of theorising gender pluralism. She explains how gender and sexuality relate to other social characteristics such as 'race', class, and disability. As well as providing a way into some of the key academic discussions in the field of gender and sexuality, Gender Politics is also a tool for activists. Monro analyses the way in which mainstream citizenship, social policy, and democracy can -or cannot - be changed to reflect the needs of marginalised groups. She explores the social implications of equality for transgender, intersex, lesbian, gay and bisexual people, and assesses conflicts within these communities themselves.

About the Author
Surya Monro has been involved in gender and sexuality activism for over 15 years. She completed her PhD on transgender politics at Sheffield University in 2000 and is Senior Research Fellow in the Policy Research Institute at Leeds Metropolitan University. She has published in various referred journals, has taught in the field and has spoken at a range of national and international conferences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended Reading, 10 Feb 2005
It is very rare to find any book on the subject of gender and gender politics that is both objective and truthful. As such many course reading lists will have either biased or leading material listed. Surya Monro's Gender Politics: Citizenship, Activism and Sexual Diversity is a refreshing exception to this rule, with an excellent analysis of the subjects covered, and presented in a comprehensive and easy to read form.

The most valuable aspect to this book is how Surya Monro covers many and diverse opinions and expressions while at the same time providing the reader with a clear and concice map of the subject.

I would strongly reccomend this book for any sociology or gender studies course reading list. As this book is evidently written to clarify and explain rather than push some agenda, which in areas of study such as this, makes this book an invaluable and much needed resource.
