| Summary |
Among numerous ancient Western tropes about gender and procreation, ""the seed and the soil"" is arguably the oldest, most potent, and most invisible in its apparent naturalness. In <span style=""font-style:italic;"">Gender Vendors: Sex and Lies from Abraham to Freud, Al Jones de-naturalizes the proto-theory of "seed-and-soil" procreation and deconstructs its contemporary legacy. |
