What is Transgender India : Understanding Third Gender Identities and Experiences about?

Transgender India: Understanding Third Gender Identities and Experiences provides the first scholarly study of hijras and other third gender Indians from the perspective of a range of disciplines in the humanities, as well as the behavioral and social sciences. This book fosters a dialogue across academic fields, as authors cross-reference each other’s chapters, comparing and contrasting their understandings of transgender experience and identity in India. This multidisciplinary approach helps readers understand the complex interplay of factors that have led to discrimination against third gender individuals, as well as paths forward to a more equitableand just future, in ways not possible from the view of a single academic field.In recent years, transgender studies have gained increased visibility as an independent subfield within gender studies. While many colleges and universities continue to teach and conduct research on transgender topics within broader programs in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) studies, increasingly scholars andeducators are recognizing the value of a disciplinary perspective that focuses specificallyon transgender identity and experience.Tran
