 Gender Identity :: Absent Fathers, Lost Sons : The Search for Masculine IdentityFirst, it is very important for a male to acknowledge he has masculine "identity issues," moreso than any female, who (in one stage at least, that of maiden) has her monthly cycle as an affirmation of her sexual identity. Second, he must also recognize the rituals and ceremonies that are performed cross-culturally during puberty as an initiation of the boyhood-to-manhood transition, most importantly along with one's own father or a male role model. Circumcision is one, along with certain Native American rites of him hanging by his hooked [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Amputee Identity Disorder: Information, Questions, Answers, and Recommendations About Self-Demand Amputation Dr. Furth does an excellent job of bringing light and understanding to a difficult subject, giving hope and compassion to those who suffer from this disorder and making great strides towards enlightening those who hold unfair prejudices against those afflicted. This book is a must for anyone who suffers from apotemnophilia, for anyone who loves an apotemnophiliac and for professional therapists who have shown ignorance in the face of a client's very real plight. Many compliments to the author for taking a stand and for fighting the good fight. [more] |

| Gender Identity :: As Nature Made Him : The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl As one reads the true-life story of David Reimer, one will be affected by almost every emotion. There will be saddness for the horrifying life David was forced to live during his childhood, and relentless anger at Dr. John Money who, himself, should have been committed to a psychiatric facility or faced a hefty prison term for the acts committed upon David and his twin all in the name of treatment. How many of us could possibly imagine the emotional or physical horrors of being raised as the opposite sex of what one was born to be, to be [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Becoming an Ex: The Process of Role Exit Helen Rose Ebaugh began researching this book while a Catholic nun, and ended it as an "ex-nun" and married woman. Don't let that fool you. This fascinating book is not an attack on organized religion, or a defense of it. It is instead an exploration of social "roles" each one of us inhabits, and the curious and usually painful process of leaving one or more of those roles behind. Her contention is that no matter what role we are leaving (anything from a marriage--'husband' or 'wife' being the role left--to leaving a religious group to [even!] [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Becoming a Visible Man I was educated, inspired and deeply moved by this book, which is not only a remarkable chronicle of Jamison Green's life, but a compelling argument for individual human rights. The specific information about the process of transition from a female to a male body is fascinating, and bound to be helpful to anyone considering FTM surgery. But from my perspective ( 55-year-old married heterosexual female), the book speaks to a much wider audience. Too many people in today's world let fear make our decisions for us, and many opportunities for [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Behind Closed Doors: The Art of Hans Bellmer (The Discovery Series) Therese Lichtenstein's "Behind Closed Doors" will immediately grab you visually, as any book about art or an artist should. It rivals Sue Taylor's "Anatomy of Anxiety" as far as visual appeal with the book itself and the plates therein. However, Lichtenstein's discussion of the exceedingly complex Hans Bellmer is a little too cautious, a little too much of a large brushstroke. This is a great book for a reader who knows little about Bellmer's work to read, but if you are hoping for some biography with your art discussion, this one does not [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Beverly Hills, 90210: Television, Gender, and Identity (Feminist Cultural Studies, the Media, and Political Culture) I am an avid fan of "Beverly Hills 90210," and I thought that this book would be a perfect combination of intellectuality and my love of pop culture. I was sadly mistaken. This book nearly put me to sleep. Although I thought it was interesting to read scenes that I had viewed myself and read other people's reactions to them, I was quite bored by all of the technical reading in it. I figured it would be more analysis and study rather than just a presentation of the facts. I would definitely NOT recommend this as something that anyone should buy. [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Bodies and Pleasures: Foucault and the Politics of Sexual Normalization McWhorter's book was a terrific success in a 300-level philosophy/women's studies class on Feminist Theory. The combination of autobiography and defense of Foucault is tremendously moving and intellectually gripping. McWhorter forced me to reconsider all of my objections to post-modernism. And just when you start to feel bogged down in the theory, you suddenly encounter a memorable character like McWhorter's second cousin Rory. McWhorter is a great story teller. This book has my highest recommendation. [more] |

| Gender Identity :: The Changing Room : Sex, Drag and Theatre (Gender in Performance) Laurence Senelick's The Changing Room is an entertaining and well-written exploration of the "inherent sexuality of all performance, the ability of the live theatre to construct gender variants unencountered anywhere else, and an abiding 'queerness' in the most authentic types of theatre...." Scholars will mine the rich lode of material found in the text and the footnotes. Less exacting readers, including this reviewer, will find the book a curious admixture of fascinating, funny, and illuminating. I am still smiling at Senelick's description [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Crossing "Crossing" is an honest account of a high-profile intellectual's sometimes terrifying journey to herself through a maze of psychological, social and physical barriers. A noted economist and economics historian, Deirdre McCloskey is currently UIC Distinguished Professor, University of Illinois at Chicago. and a visiting professor at Erasmusuniversiteit Rotterdam. She began this career as Donald McCloskey, and her gender change was heralded by accounts in The Chronicle of Higher Ed and elsewhere. Arranged in three sections named for a [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Current Concepts in Transgender Identity (GARLAND REFERENCE LIBRARY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE) Dallas Denny should be congratulated for pulling together the threads from both the trans community and the (mental) health community to form rich material for the truthseeker and researcher alike: provocative discussion and dialogue on the intriguing and oft-elusive phenomenon of "transgender identity" over the course of the past half-century. This text weaves a vibrant tapestry of diverse perspectives from many of the key players in the field, tracing the clinical research, assessment and treatment of "gender dysphoria" and "Gender Identity [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Dance, Sex, and Gender: Signs of Identity, Dominance, Defiance and Desire I chanced upon this book when I was researching the origins of women's dance in the Middle East. The book was very helpful with this specific topic, and--more importantly--it helped me understand how dance, sex roles, sexuality, and culture intertwine. Hannah covers historic and contemporary dance forms from around the world. Highly recommended! [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Desires in Conflict: Hope for Men Who Struggle With Sexual Identity Joe Dallas has been through it all and is able to speak not only from a strong Biblical and psychological knowledge base, but also from personal experience. Conversationally written directly to the Christian struggling with homosexuality, this book gives powerful encouragement and practical advice. Especially exceptional is his coverage of all aspects of the religious and psychological processes of growth and change. It's easy to read, but may be emotionally and spiritually challenging. This book is also an excellent resource for parents, [more] |

A book on the reality of nature (beyond classical, archaic and now defunct theories) is so long overdue seeing as how we are in the 21st century and all. Yes, I know it is difficult, and perhaps even painful, for some essentialists to accept but it is time now to move BEYOND Darwin. Let him go. Move on. There now, isn't that better?

| Gender Identity :: Female Masculinity The fact that this book was not written by a person of color in no way reduces the racial-inclusion in the book. Halberstam dedicates the book to Gayatri; perhaps having a lover of color influences her racially-diverse perspective. Then again, maybe its the influence of the ethnic studies professors at her college, UCSD. Whatever it was, it's great. Halberstam makes a point of saying how butches of color face different issues from white butches. She states from the start that works on masculinity as it affects men of color and working-class [more] |

Riv-Ellen Prell is a committed academic and her passionate interest in her subject is obvious. In addition she is a clear thinker and terrific at conveying complex ideas without being the least bit reductive. There's an historic and political framework for Dr. Prell's topics, among [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Finding the Real Me: True Tales of Sex and Gender Diversity The subtitle for this amazing and long overdue anthology is "True Tales of Sex & Gender Diversity", which pretty well sums up what the book is about. There have been many anthologies published over the years that deal with a range of different issues, but Finding the Real Me is the first volume to tackle the complexities of gender diversity. In the books' introduction, editors Tracie O'Keefe and Katrina Fox explain that "you don't have to have sex or gender issues to appreciate this book - it is for anyone who has even the remotest interest in [more] |

This indispensable, seminal work is concise, but far-reaching. It describes the varied manifestations of gender diversity in a way that permits the reader to perceive the patterns and deeper meanings that underlie cultural differences.

I find it is also very interesting for this lay person, and completely accessible, with little or no trade jargon used. It is a structured, fact filled book, but still a relatively fast read. While it includes some information about all who are transgendered, it tends to focus on the transsexual subset.

| Gender Identity :: Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us I've read many books on feminism and gender, most of the Ms magazine ilk, and all of one mind, spouting the message that William can have a doll, and Sally can be a doctor when she grows up. Mainstream feminism is carrying this message into the 21st century almost unchanged from the late 1960's. This type of book always leaves me feeling a little unsatisfied. Kate Bornstein has written and book that attacks gender roles at the root, and not the flower. She is a male to female transsexual, in that she was identified as a boy at birth, and [more] |

It blabs on making inane points with specific examples that justify the exact inane point. It even says "science" was started in Europe in the 16th century...um sure... The According to the Media and According to the Research sections are rediculous. The author's own personal bias towards physchology is more easily seen than say Michael Moore's bias towards America in Stupid White Men. This book is a waste of your time. [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Gender Reversals and Gender Cultures: Anthropological and Historical Perspectives One of the most important contributions to this multi-cultural anthropological anthology is: "Traversing Gender: Cultural Context and Gender Practices," by Anne Bolin. Bolin offers her "five-form model of gender-variance." The importance of her examination of the ethnographic record and development of a five-form model of gender variance cannot be overestimated. Ramet has drawn together a very worthy collection of scholarly articles that truly turn the two-sex, two-gender mind set into child's play. Here is an exceptional collection of [more] |

| Gender Identity :: The Gender/Sexuality Reader: Culture, History, Political Economy A lot of books in the field give lip service to the idea that gender, sexuality, race, and class are somehow "connected" or "interconnected." This big book shows, convincingly, how they're connected--both historically, and in the present. The text includes stimulating essays on the history of colonialism and modern medicine; well-wrought ethnographic case studies on gender, race, and sexuality; and content-based theory (i.e., theory based on some empirical evidence).

It offers a view on several case studies and individuals diagnosed as having GID. [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Gender (Short Introductions) I thought Connell brought up some interesting ways of thinking about gender. Connell talks of gender how it is in a complex world. I thought the book got better and more interesting as I got into it. The chapters are: 1. The Question of Gender 2. Schools, Mines, Sex and War 3. Differences and Bodies 4. Gender Relations 5. Gender in Personal Life 6. Gender on the Large Scale 7. Gender and the Intellectuals 8. Gender Politics.

| Gender Identity :: Gender Trouble (Tenth Anniversary Edition) Gender Trouble is simply the best available survey and critique of the philosophical work of the leading theorists of French intellectual feminism from Beauvoir on down to Irigaray, Wittig, and Kristeva. Her work owes a significant debt to Michel Foucault's work on discourses of power, a debt which is chiefly acknowledged in the simple fact that everyone except Foucault takes a serious bashing. Beyond the pleasures of intellectual fireworks, the book is politically important for two reasons. First, it shows where many feminist positions fall [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Gendered Lives : Communication, Gender, and Culture (with InfoTrac) Wood does a superb job presenting the research on gender as it stands, while striving to keep her own personal bias out. She presents arguments from both left and right, fortifying them with excerpts from student journals. While some of the chapters were difficult to plow through because of subject matter-such as the section on gendered violence-the book itself was a surprisingly easy read. In presenting the arguments as they stand in the research, Wood chooses not to involve less critical ethical or moral viewpoints. Though this enhances [more] |

Difference is a matter of cultural conditioning,expecting differences and enhancing them through reinforcing sterotypes and myths about boys,girls,men and women.

| Gender Identity :: Getting Married in Korea: Of Gender, Morality, and Modernity An at times funny read of the intersection of two cultures. One is the modern consumerist culture, that has taken firm hold in South Korea since the 1980s. The other is a traditional Confucian morality steeped in centuries of lore. Kendall studies this through the ingenious choice of marriages. Here, the Confucian traditions often appear in the form of arranged marriages. Yet she shows how young couples persistently try to sidestep this format. Along the way, a non-Korean reader is also rewarded by many insights into Korean society. Things [more] |

| Gender Identity :: The Graffiti Subculture: Youth, Masculinity and Identity in London and New York I myself have conducted extensive research on the subject and have found Nancy's book to be the most comprehensive study to date on the graffiti subculture. How a researcher can get so close to the essense of a very difficult subculture to penetrate is beyond me. An immensely interesting read, and a resource for study into any youth subcultural activity.

| Gender Identity :: Homosexuality and Civilization Based on the best recent scholarship and providing an overview of homosexuality from the Greeks to the end of the 18th century, this levelheaded, easy-to-read volume confirms the fact that homosexuality has had a long history (with periods of greater or less toleration). Crompton (English, Univ. of Nebraska) devotes three chapters to Greece and Rome, three to Christianity and the later medieval world, and three to the 18th century; single chapters treat ancient Judea, imperial China, Italy in the Renaissance, Spain and the Inquisition, France [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Identity and the Case for Gay Rights: Race, Gender, Religion As Analogies Richards has advanced the constitutional argumentation for gay rights in a profound way. He has analogized the case for gay rights to arguments for racial, gender, and religious equality and concluded that attempts to find a genetic or "innate" basis for homosexuality are no more likely to provide grounds for equality than to provide grounds for continued inequality and discrimination. Instead, Richards argues that the manner in which gay men and lesbians deal with life, love, birth, and death is ultimately a profound conscious and [more] |

| Gender Identity :: In the Houses of the Holy: Led Zeppelin and the Power of Rock Music This is an unfortunate example of an academic trying very hard to understand with her mind what she obviously does not with her heart. To her credit, she tries very, very hard. I can only imagine one of the band members endeavoring to read this intellectual over-analysis and gasping for breath in between bursts of laughter. It reads like a parody of itself, and it sure cracked me up. [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Irrational Modernism : A Neurasthenic History of New York Dada Amelia Jones, author of _Postmodernism and the Engendering of Marcel Duchamp_ and _Body Art_, has (yet again!) pushed the limits of critical theory and historical investigation in art history and visual culture. _Irrational Modernism_, which is Jones's intervention into early twentieth century modernism and studies on Dada, marks the beginning of an embodied and invested art history -- one that moves away from the hegemonic practices of the historians and theorists associated with the journal October. Of course, it almost goes without saying, [more] |

The fact that Daphne was not able to express herself as she wanted still blows my mind. Her "actions" were harmful to NO ONE and yet she was forced to try and adopt a state of "self" that wasn't her own. I urge all to read this, even if YOU don't have a gender issue, you probably [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Masking Selves, Making Subjects: Japanese American Women, Identity, and the Body Traise Yamamoto clearly builds on earlier feminist works in her concern with the narrative and ontological effects of silence or-in the case of the body-"masking" in Japanese American women's writings. Yamamoto's study establishes the complex means by which "masking" their purposes or selves served these women writers who, despite the racialized and gendered discursive networks in the west that curtailed their articulation, both legally and socially, nonetheless often succeeded in achieving a sense of subjectivity or agency.

| Gender Identity :: Media, Gender and Identity: An Introduction There are dozens of books on popular culture and its relation to gender and identity issues out there, but this one is extraordinary: concise, up-to-date, and very readable. Mr Gauntlett wrote not only an introduction to the main theories of popular culture like Giddens, Foucault or queer theory - he illustrated all the discussed theoretical concepts with recent examples like movies, TV series, music, websites, and magazines. If you are a student of media studies and always wanted to know how popular culture influences our lifestyles and our [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Men and Masculinities in Contemporary Japan: Beyond the Urban Salaryman Model (Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese Studies) As the subtitle of this anthology clearly states, the editors and contributors are trying to show that not all Japanese men are middle-class, company-oriented, gender-typical, childcare-shunning, heterosexual males in intraethnic marriages. However, it still indicates how the Japanese law presumes that the salaryman is the national everyman. Typically, books discuss either women, gay men, transgenders, and gender rebels separately and exclusively. This books peels the layers of the onion discussing most every aspect of gender- and sexual [more] |

The basic concept of Calliope Stephanides' transformation from a female to a male might put off some readers and cause them to avoid this novel. That would be ashamed because that is but the basic thread around which Eugenides tells a much more richly sweeping tale - a tale of depth and breadth spanning several generations.

| Gender Identity :: The Miseducation of Women The author, an educator, blames equality feminism for the "Bridget Jones Syndrome", basically the angst of a professionally successful thirty-something woman, unable to find a mate. I agree with him that the interplay of workplace reality and education today, shortchages all those women who would be perfectly happy staying at home and raising a family. I disagree with him that it is due to schooling, or feminism. He has completely overlooked the role of the economy and the job market. In the "knowledge economy", where the bar is constantly [more] |

She attempts to navigate such disparate positions as a feminist abhorrence toward Miss America and a conservative celebration of the pageant, weaving together interviews and criticism and attending to the relationship between contestants' on-stage performances and private identities. Banet-Weiser notes that people [more] |

| Gender Identity :: Mothering, Education, and Ethnicity : The Transformation of Japanese American Culture (Asian Americans: Reconceptualizing Culture, History, Politics) If you grew up in a Japanese-American family, Ms. Adler's content will sound familiar. A lot of insight is provided on the dynamics of life in a Japanese-American family and some of the ethnic roots of those dynamics. Cultural explanations are provided for behaviors I thought "just ran in my family." The book is useful for anyone who deals with Japanese-Americans and wants to understand some of the motivations for their behaviors. [more] |

| Gender Identity :: My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, the Real You, or Something Else Entirely The layout of this book -- as a workbook with exercises you can do as you move through it -- makes this a very interesting way to examine gender issues in your own life. However I found two problems with the book. First, not all of the sections flow smoothly and the stream of consciousness moments can be distracting and patronizing on a few occassions. Secondly, I think the definition used of "gender" is far to broad to really give the book a solid foundation to build on. You'll find yourself agreeing or disagreeing with much of the book -- [more] |

Evans examines the experiences of gay and lesbian teachers in the school setting. She uses several different pre-service teachers and their experiences of teaching to convey the message of the difficulties homosexual educators have in the school systems. Then Evans goes further in this realm of experiencing difficulties while teaching to include any teacher, regardless of race, sexual orientation, [more] |
