Boys and Girls at Play: The Development of Sex Roles

A fresh and provocative approach to the ongoing nature/nurture, How shall we shape the playspace? debate, this persuasive and controversial book illustrates and analyzes, in colorful detail, children's developing perceptions of their own-and the other sex's-gender identity. The authors conclude that efforts to modify traditional sexual stereotypes might more effectively be directed toward a later stage of development than that of the preschooler, if at all.

Poststructuralism―as a name for a mode of thinking, a style of philosophizing, a kind of writing―has exercised a profound influence upon contemporary Western thought and the institution of the university. As a French and predominantly Parisian affair, poststructuralism is inseparable from the intellectual milieu of postwar France, a world dominated by Alexandre KojËve's and Jean Hyppolite's interpretations of Hegel, Jacques Lacan's reading of Freud, Gaston Bachelard's epistemology, George Canguilhem's studies of science, and Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialism. It is also inseparable from the structuralist tradition of linguistics based upon the work of Ferdinand de Saussure and Roman Jacobson, and the structuralist interpretations of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Roland Barthes, Louis Althusser, and the early Michel Foucault. Poststructuralism, considered in terms of contemporary cultural history, can be understood as belonging to the broad movement of European formalism, with explicit historical links to both Formalist and Futurist linguistics and poetics, and with aspects of the European avant-garde, especially André Breton's surrealism. Each essay in this unique collection by and for educators is devoted to the work and educational significance of one of ten major poststructuralist philosophers.

In the foreword to the first edition, renowned anthropologist, Victor Turner, wrote that this book was a succinct and lucid account of the sporadic growth of political anthropology over the past four decades . . . the introduction we have all been waiting for. Unique in its field, this book offers a comprehensive overview of political anthropology, including its history, its major research findings, and its theoretical concerns both past and present. The second edition has been significantly updated and expanded, with extensive changes in many chapters, three additional chapters, and a new conclusion. It serves as a basic text and structure for a full course.In a clearly written style, this introduction also provides the background necessary for further study. The revised chapters cover such topics as the development of political anthropology, the origin of the state, religion and politics, and political theory. One added chapter will bring the reader up to date on the feminist studies of the 1980s. Another on people against the state summarizes a dominant recent trend of researching the ways that underclasses non-violently manipulate governments to their own advantage. And a third, on ethnicity and retribalization, focuses on how subcultural enclaves politically adapt to modernization. The wholly rewritten conclusion summarizes major theoretical trends of the 1980s and 1990s and offers insight on future developments.
