Unzipping Gender by Charlotte Suthrell
Drawing on fieldwork, this book offers a cross-cultural study of transvestism through an examination of transvestites in Britain and the Hijras of India. It tackles the question of whether or not transvestism is motivated primarily by sex or gender, and also challenges the straightforward binary divide that dominates Western theories of gender.
This is excellent - a really instructive insight into an often overlooked but pervasive element of Indian culture made all the more resonant by a forgeign comparisonVeena Indian Arts Review Unzipping Gender is a 'good read' that makes a significant and epistemologically valuable contribution to the body of knowledge of (trans)gender and teh study of sexualities that will benefit students, academic scholars or indeed anyone else who reads Suthrell's work.
