{"product_id":"before-we-were-trans-a-new-history-of-gender","title":"Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender","description":"A groundbreaking global history of gender nonconformity \n\nToday’s narratives about trans people tend to feature individuals with stable gender identities that fit neatly into the categories of male or female. Those stories, while important, fail to account for the complex realities of many trans people’s lives.\n\nBefore We Were Trans illuminates the stories of people across the globe, from antiquity to the present, whose experiences of gender have defied binary categories. Blending historical analysis with sharp cultural criticism, trans historian and activist Kit Heyam offers a new, radically inclusive trans history, chronicling expressions of trans experience that are often overlooked, like gender-nonconforming fashion and wartime stage performance. Before We Were Trans transports us from Renaissance Venice to seventeenth-century Angola, from Edo Japan to early America, and looks to the past to uncover new horizons for possible trans futures. \u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1541603087\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1541603087.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Heyam Ph.D, Dr. Kit\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
