The Cambridge World History of Sexualities 4 Volumes Hardback Set, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Split into four volumes, The Cambridge World History of Sexualities examines sexualities across time and around the world at varying geographic and chronological scales. Featuring over eighty contributions from scholars across more than twenty countries in a number of disciplines, the volumes represent a cross-disciplinary approach that characterizes the history of sexuality as a field in itself. The first volume combines historiographical essays with general overviews of important topics and themes. The second evaluates sexuality in systems of thought and belief, from early humans to contemporary feminism. The third targets specific locations at different times to navigate further the lived experience of individuals and groups. Lastly, the fourth examines the intersection of modernity and human sexuality on issues such as colonialism and consumerism. Thorough and authoritative, the collection is a much-needed addition to the world history of sexualities.
