<br/><br/> Demonstrating the centrality of sex, gender & sexuality to theories of human behaviours & practices, this text offers a wide variety of readings & covers topics including biotechnology & bioethics, health & illness, language, ethnicity, identity, politics, post-colonialism, & kinship.  "By drawing on the multiple perspectives of anthropology, this collection moves beyond other lesbian and gay studies readers by presenting a broader view of the significance of studying same-sex cultures and sexualities and presenting the lives of a range of individuals across cultural and temporal domains." "Same-Sex Cultures and Sexualities offers readings from all four subfields of anthropology: cultural, biological, linguistic and archaeological (along with historical and applied anthropology), and includes discussion of biotechnology and bioethics, health and illness, language, ethnicity, identity, politics, post-colonialism, kinship, development, and policy-making."--BOOK JACKET.
