Product Description

Review

"As both a prefix and an adjective, 'trans' goes over, across, and beyond, making the possibilities seem endless for trans(gender) studies. However, to advance or progress requires some point of departure. For trans(gender) studies to evolve, we must have a solid understanding of where it all began. The Transgender Studies Reader is indispensable for its ability to encapsulate the century of dialog that has become what appears to be a decade-old phenomenon."

— Brice Smith, Women's Studies Quarterly

Product Description

Transgender studies is the latest area of academic inquiry to grow out of the exciting nexus of queer theory, feminist studies, and the history of sexuality. Because transpeople challenge our most fundamental assumptions about the relationship between bodies, desire, and identity, the field is both fascinating and contentious. The Transgender Studies Reader puts between two covers fifty influential texts with new introductions by the editors that, taken together, document the evolution of transgender studies in the English-speaking world. By bringing together the voices and experience of transgender individuals, doctors, psychologists and academically-based theorists, this volume will be a foundational text for the transgender community, transgender studies, and related queer theory.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 31 Jan 2012
By 
This review is from: The Transgender Studies Reader (Paperback)
Contains everything you could want from a reader, especially if you are studying at degree level any module on the subject for any discipline. I found the articles easy to find. My only complaint is that it is a massive book, with thin pages, so it is both hard to read comfortably or take in to class!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Essential Text for Trans Issues and Theories., 2 July 2006
By W - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Transgender Studies Reader (Paperback)
The depth and breadth of the articles included in this compendium are astounding to say the least. In one large volume the authors have included samples of writings representing the theoretical to the practical and the lived experience in a time line from the 19th century through the present. The Reader gives a sense of our shared history from a wide variety of view points which affirms all of our lives. As a transgendered person and college student, I recommend the The Transgender Reader to anyone looking for clues to our hidden culture and the world we struggle in everyday.
