Purchase options and add-ons

This book tracks the conceptual journeying of the term ‘transgender’ from the Global North―where it originated―along with the physical embodied journeying of transgender asylum seekers from countries within Africa to South Africa and considers the interrelationships between the two. The term 'transgender' transforms as it travels, taking on meaning in relation to bodies, national homes, institutional frameworks and imaginaries. This study centres on the experiences and narratives of people that can be usefully termed 'gender refugees', gathered through a series of life story interviews. It is the argument of this book that the departures, border crossings, arrivals and perceptions of South Africa for gender refugees have been both enabled and constrained by the contested meanings and politics of this emergence of transgender. This book explores, through these narratives, the radical constitutional-legal possibilities for 'transgender' in South Africa, the dissonances between thepossibilities of constitutional law, and the pervasive politics/logic of binary ‘sex/gender’ within South African society. In doing so, this book enriches the emergent field of Transgender Studies and challenges some of the current dominant theoretical and political perceptions of 'transgender'. It offers complex narratives from the African continent regarding sex, gender, sexuality and notions of home concerning particular geo-politically situated bodies.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This timely book unpacks the lived realities of being a transgender refugee or asylum seeker in South Africa; in doing so it contributes to important debates about sex and gender, ethnicity and nationalism, intersectionality, and identity. The text reveals specific meanings of 'transgender' in African contexts, and the perspective provided by the book enriches our understandings of gender, sex, and sexuality at an international level.” (Surya Monro, Professor, Department of Behavioural and Social Sciences, University of Huddersfield, UK)
