Howard Chiang

Transtopia in the Sinophone Pacific

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Howard Chiang proposes a new paradigm for doing transgender history in which geopolitics assumes central importance. Defined as the antidote to transphobia, transtopia challenges a minoritarian view of transgender experience and makes room for the variability of transness on a historical continuum.
