See how gender identities are constructed in a rapidly changing cultural milieu with CHALLENGING GENDER NORMS: THE FIVE GENDERS OF INDONESIA! This case study in cultural anthropology explores the Bugis ethnic group, native to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, which recognizes five gender categories rather than the two acknowledged in most societies. This ethnography presents individuals' stories, opinions, and deliberations and proposes a new theory of gender which incorporates appreciation of variously gendered subjectivities.

Diverse Genders in the Archepelago (sp?)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2014

This is just an off-the-cuff review. Please forgive me if it doesn't feel deep enough. Please see the documentary "Two Spirits." In it, an interviewee said pre-Columbian Navajo did not have just two genders (male and female); they had four (masculine man, feminine man, feminine woman, and masculine woman). Further, the two gender-atypical groups were not looked down upon. Well, this book says that in a subsection of Indonesia, things are the same way, but the asexual clergy could be considered a fifth gender. This will be an eye-opening read for Westerners who want to think outside the box. I imagine Gender Studies majors too would just love, love, love this book. Even anthropologists not interested in gender matters may benefit from this book as it speaks on how some Indonesians who are now devout Muslims still incorporate concepts from tribal religions into their beliefs. This is a breath of fresh air in that you see examples of people who treat the gender-atypical with respect, rather than hostility or cruelty. People who like this book should read an anthology about masculine women around the world, possibly edited by Evelyn Blackwood. Also, an American scholar in California has written extensively about LGBTs in Indonesia. He has a contribution in the "Queer Tongues" anthology.

It's super interesting. I read if for Anthropology of Sex and Gender. I love learning about the different genders in other cultures.
