Produktbeschreibung

In "Sex and Violence," the contributors present an integrated collection of articles which examine the distinctive ways in which human relationships are realized and expressed through idioms which would be classified in the West as both sexual and violent. By assessing the politics of these classifications from both an anthropological and feminist viewpoint, they also address issues concerning the different perceptions of the relationships between sex and gender, difference and hierarchy.
