4.0 out of 5 stars An O.K. Collection, July 27, 2003

This review is from: Many Faces Of Homosexuality: Anthropological Approaches To Homosexual (Paperback)

This book served its purpose in my independent study. Some of the articles aren't written very well--I read at least one that was riddled with contradictions, and moreover, it didn't have much to do with homosexuality. Overall, however, the articles are interesting and informative for those people studying homosexuality in an anthropological context.

This review is from: Many Faces Of Homosexuality: Anthropological Approaches To Homosexual (Paperback)

It is very interesting to read this kind of book. But I prefer "Ethnographic Studies of Homosexuality" and "Geography of Perversion". Especially the latter is more comprehensive survey on this topic. Nevertheless I recommend the book for those who have interest in the matter.
