Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
In 1992, nearing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of "Berdache: A Brief Review of the Literature" (Jacobs 1968), it became important to me to questions whether the "berdache" [sic] enterprise of the 1980s had been part of a movement for remasculinization of certain American and European men (white heterosexual males with classic education) through the exotification of "others" (particularly males of color and males living in exoticized cultures). Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars It reads like a term paper, January 8, 1998
The book had lots of good information but was hard for me to wade through. It's a series of college papers on the subject of gender and two-spirit people. I think the second half was most helpful (the stories of several two-spirits). Like I said, there was lots of info, it was just a little hard to follow.
