Synopsis

This collection challenges conventional understandings of gender and sexuality by examining how transgender scholarship can move beyond dominant, often colonial, perspectives. It explores the intricate connections between mobility, capital, and transnational experiences within the context of gender reassignment. The essays consider how theories and ideas must travel across different cultural and geographical landscapes to truly decolonize the field.
