Description
Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender by Kit Heyam is a groundbreaking book that redefines our understanding of trans history. By exploring the stories of people across the globe, Heyam sheds light on the rich and diverse experiences of those whose gender identities have been transgressive or non-binary. This book takes a fresh approach to the subject, weaving together fascinating examples with thoughtful analysis to create a nuanced and moving narrative. Heyam's in-depth research and personal stories invite us to expand our sense of communities in welcoming ways, rather than contracting them and policing their borders. Through its pages, Before We Were Trans transports us to different eras and cultures, from Renaissance Venice to seventeenth-century Angola, from Edo Japan to North America. The stories told here are fraught with ambiguity and defy modern Western terminology and categories, leaving questions and resisting conclusions.
