Description
Trans* is a thought-provoking exploration of the recent shifts in our understanding of gendered embodiment. In the last decade, public discussions of transgender issues have increased exponentially, leading to a rethinking of what it means to be a person. Jack Halberstam examines how a stigmatized identity has become a central aspect of self, and how this has impacted our understanding of sex and the gendered body.
Halberstam delves into the complexities of gender representation and the possibilities of a nongendered, gender-optional, or gender-queer future. This book is part of the American Studies Now series and is available as an e-book first. For more information, visit ucpress.edu/go/americanstudiesnow.
