Playing It Straight

by Mindy Blaise

In particular, this book uses alternative theoretical perspectives to focus on how young children are 'doing' gender in kindergarten classroom.
Rather than relying exclusively on biological and socialization theories of gender construction, Blaise breaks down theoretical barriers with new understandings of how gender is socially and politically constructed by young children.

I read this for an ethnography class. While the results of the study were interesting, I particularly appreciate how the author sets up the text with the literature review, etc. The writing felt clear and intentional.
