Pressezitat
"By continuing to focus on the intersections of gender and contact, the third edition of Peter Stearns' Gender and World History provides a solid framework for students and teachers alike to understand the complexities of gender in the longue durée of world history. At the same time, it offers concrete examples of how lived experiences of men and women affect social, political and cultural relations of power the world over. This edition provides an engaging new chapter on Latin America and benefits greatly from a slightly adjusted organization and key enhancements to a number of the chapters. Stearns' text remains a thorough and eminently accessible resource for students engaged with the themes of gender and world history." -Elizabeth Manley, Xavier University of Louisiana
