The tense but enduring engagement between anthropology and gender and sexuality studies has had profound effects on anthropological theory and practice. Bringing together contributions from an international team of authors, this Handbook shows that anthropological work has taken inspiration from feminist and LGBTQI movements to create a transformative body of research. It provides an accessible, state-of-the-art overview of the anthropology of gender and sexuality while also documenting its historical emergence, highlighting the varied impact gender and sexuality studies have had on anthropological theory. It is split into ûve parts, with each chapter introducing a contemporary anthropological theory through in-depth ethnographical discussion. It features intersectional, Black, and Indigenous authors, providing a forum for established and emerging voices to gesture toward futures of anthropology of gender and sexuality. Authoritative and cutting-edge, it is essential reading for researchers and students in anthropology, and will set the agenda for future research in the field.
