Beschreibung
"David Valentine had the good fortune to be conducting anthropological fieldwork in New York at the precise moment when a new term, 'transgender, ' was first coming into widespread use. Now we have the good fortune of sharing his ethnographic insight into this new category's emergence. "Imagining Transgender" offers a provocative on-the-ground account of this important shift in Western notions of gender identity and sexuality. The book is sure to stir debate in the emerging field of transgender studies, as well as in other disciplines that concern themselves with this timely topic."--Susan Stryker, coeditor of "The Transgender Studies Reader"
