Krátky popis
'A beautiful, brilliant, lively book that weaves together
fascinating and moving examples with thoughtful analysis. Both
heartfelt and rigorous, entertaining and scholarly, Before We Were
Trans invites us to expand our sense of communities - past and
present - in welcoming ways, rather than contracting them and
policing their borders' MEG-JOHN BARKER, author of Gender: A
Graphic Guide'Celebrates trans history, whilst acknowledging the
reality of what it means to live within our community with joy and
kindness. In-depth research and personal stories tie Before We Were
Trans up into a true treat for the mind' JAMIE WINDUST, author of
In Their ShoesAcross the world today, people of all ages are doing
fascinating, creative, messy things with gender.These people have a
rich history - but one that is often left behind by narratives of
trans lives that focus on people with stable, binary, uncomplicated
gender identities. As a result, these stories tend to be recent,
binary, stereotyped, medicalised and white. Before We Were Trans is
a new and different story of gender, that seeks not to be
comprehensive or definitive, but - by blending culture, feminism
and politics - to widen the scope of what we think of as trans
history by telling the stories of people across the globe whose
experience of gender has been transgressive, or not characterised
by stability or binary categories.Transporting us from Renaissance
Venice to seventeenth-century Angola, from Edo Japan to North
America, the stories this book tells leave questions and resist
conclusions. They are fraught with ambiguity, and defy modern
Western terminology and categories - not least the category of
'trans' itself. But telling them provides a history that reflects
the richness of modern trans reality more closely than any
previously written.Before We Were Trans is a history and
celebration of gender in all its fluidity, ambiguity and
complexity.
