Explores the history of transgender and gender nonconforming people, with a focus on those who identified in other than a straightforward binary fashion; on communities in West Africa, Asia, and among Native Americans; and on cross-dressing in World War I prison camps and in entertainment.
What The Reviewers Say
As [Heyam] demonstrate in this astute, self-aware and riveting study, the history of gender nonconformity around the world is so vast that no book can begin to contain its reaches.
... [a] rich and complex journey, riddled with conflicts, contradictions and reverses.
... eye-opening.
... expansive and illuminating.
