With two new editors and new authors from the global south and underrepresented communities, it combines theoretically and ethnographically based essays to examine gender roles and ideology around the world. Divided thematically into five parts, the editors open 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. The new edition also features additional support for teaching and learning that, including a film list and discussion questions, now offered as supplemental online materials. The 8th edition of Gender in the Cross-Cultural Perspective continues to be an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students encountering the anthropology of gender for the first time"--
