摘要
Sexual politics - from economic equality to anti-gay violence - is a vast area of debate. This exceptional new book seeks to integrate gender and sexuality into the mainstream of social and political theory with the aim of challenging and transforming these traditional areas. The book is an original contribution to theory, setting out for the first time a systematic framework for the social analysis of gender and sexuality. It is written with a clarity and scope that also make it useful as an introductory textbook on sexual politics. The book reviews theories of gender from feminism to psychoanalysis, sex role theory, and sociobiology. It maps the structure of gender relations in contemporary life and in history; proposes a new approach to femininity and masculinity; and offers a wide-ranging analysis of sexual politics and the dynamics of change, from working-class feminism to the dilemmas of the 'men's movement'. Connell has produced a major work of synthesis and scholarship which will be of unique value to students and professionals in sociology, politics, psychology, women's studies, gay studies, and to anyone interested in sexual politics.'

Connell's book is well worth adding to a collection. It is thought provoking, well written, and engaging. The bibliography is impressive in its depth and scope, and is strengthened by the inclusion of a wide range of literature in terms of discipline, geography, and political persuasion. Connell's goal is ``to propose the outline of a systematic social theory of gender.'' He divides the work into four parts. The first, ``Theorizing Gender,'' examines the roots and development of contemporary feminist theory. Connell provides a useful and provocative critique of current feminist theoretical frameworks. Part 2, ``The Structure of Gender Relations,'' proposes a theoretical model of gender relations that includes labor, power, and cathexis as three interrelated major structures. Part 3 deals with the formation of ``femininity and masculinity'' and emphasizes that it is in practice that both ``personality'' and social structures are maintained and changed. The final section, ``Sexual Politics,'' discusses sexual ideology and political practice, and concludes with some strategies for change and notes on possible futures.
