The Everyday Makings of Heteronormativity: Cross-Cultural Explorations of Sex, Gender, and Sexuality delves into the intricate conceptualization of heteronormativity, shedding light on the mundane processes through which it is constructed across diverse contexts.

Heteronormativity acquires its privileges and stability through public endeavors and the interconnectedness of the public and private realms. In this edited collection, esteemed contributors examine this coherence and privilege, delving into ethnographic detail to explore the operations and creation of heteronormative devices, encompassing material, affective, narrative, spatial, and bodily aspects. This book is highly recommended for students and scholars engaged in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and gender and sexuality studies, offering valuable insights into the complex dynamics of heteronormativity and its societal implications.
