Brown Trans Figurations
Author: Francisco J. Galarte
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477322159
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Honorable Mention for the National Women’s Studies Association's 2021 Gloria E. Anzaldúa Book Prize 2021 Finalist Best LGBTQ+ Themed Book, International Latino Book Awards 2022 John Leo & Dana Heller Award for Best Single Work, Anthology, Multi-Authored, or Edited Book in LGBTQ Studies, Popular Culture Association The Alan Bray Memorial Book Prize, GL/Q Caucus, Modern Language Association (MLA) 2022 AAHHE Book of the Year Award, American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education Within queer, transgender, and Latinx and Chicanx cultural politics, brown transgender narratives are frequently silenced and erased. Brown trans subjects are treated as deceptive, unnatural, nonexistent, or impossible, their bodies, lives, and material circumstances represented through tropes and used as metaphors. Restoring personhood and agency to these subjects, Francisco J. Galarte advances “brown trans figuration” as a theoretical framework to describe how transness and brownness coexist within the larger queer, trans, and Latinx historical experiences. Brown Trans Figurations presents a collection of representations that reveal the repression of brown trans narratives and make that repression visible and palpable. Galarte examines the violent deaths of two transgender Latinas and the corresponding narratives that emerged about their lives, analyzes the invisibility of brown transmasculinity in Chicana feminist works, and explores how issues such as transgender politics can be imagined as part of Chicanx and Latinx political movements. This book considers the contexts in which brown trans narratives appear, how they circulate, and how they are reproduced in politics, sexual cultures, and racialized economies.

Underflows
Author: Cleo Wölfle Hazard
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 0295749768
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Rivers host vibrant multispecies communities in their waters and along their banks, and, according to queer-trans-feminist river scientist Cleo Wölfle Hazard, their future vitality requires centering the values of justice, sovereignty, and dynamism. At the intersection of river sciences, queer and trans theory, and environmental justice, Underflows explores river cultures and politics at five sites of water conflict and restoration in California, Oregon, and Washington. Incorporating work with salmon, beaver, and floodplain recovery projects, Wölfle Hazard weaves narratives about innovative field research practices with an affectively oriented queer and trans focus on love and grief for rivers and fish. Drawing on the idea of underflows—the parts of a river’s flow that can’t be seen, the underground currents that seep through soil or rise from aquifers through cracks in bedrock—Wölfle Hazard elucidates the underflows in river cultures, sciences, and politics where Native nations and marginalized communities fight to protect rivers. The result is a deeply moving account of why rivers matter for queer and trans life, offering critical insights that point to innovative ways of doing science that disrupt settler colonialism and new visions for justice in river governance.

Normal Life
Author: Dean Spade
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 082237479X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Revised and Expanded Edition Wait—what's wrong with rights? It is usually assumed that trans and gender nonconforming people should follow the civil rights and "equality" strategies of lesbian and gay rights organizations by agitating for legal reforms that would ostensibly guarantee nondiscrimination and equal protection under the law. This approach assumes that the best way to address the poverty and criminalization that plague trans populations is to gain legal recognition and inclusion in the state's institutions. But is this strategy effective? In Normal Life Dean Spade presents revelatory critiques of the legal equality framework for social change, and points to examples of transformative grassroots trans activism that is raising demands that go beyond traditional civil rights reforms. Spade explodes assumptions about what legal rights can do for marginalized populations, and describes transformative resistance processes and formations that address the root causes of harm and violence. In the new afterword to this revised and expanded edition, Spade notes the rapid mainstreaming of trans politics and finds that his predictions that gaining legal recognition will fail to benefit trans populations are coming to fruition. Spade examines recent efforts by the Obama administration and trans equality advocates to "pinkwash" state violence by articulating the US military and prison systems as sites for trans inclusion reforms. In the context of recent increased mainstream visibility of trans people and trans politics, Spade continues to advocate for the dismantling of systems of state violence that shorten the lives of trans people. Now more than ever, Normal Life is an urgent call for justice and trans liberation, and the radical transformations it will require.

Before We Were Trans
Author: Dr. Kit Heyam
Publisher: Seal Press
ISBN: 1541603109
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
A groundbreaking global history of gender nonconformity Today’s narratives about trans people tend to feature individuals with stable gender identities that fit neatly into the categories of male or female. Those stories, while important, fail to account for the complex realities of many trans people’s lives. Before We Were Trans illuminates the stories of people across the globe, from antiquity to the present, whose experiences of gender have defied binary categories. Blending historical analysis with sharp cultural criticism, trans historian and activist Kit Heyam offers a new, radically inclusive trans history, chronicling expressions of trans experience that are often overlooked, like gender-nonconforming fashion and wartime stage performance. Before We Were Trans transports us from Renaissance Venice to seventeenth-century Angola, from Edo Japan to early America, and looks to the past to uncover new horizons for possible trans futures.

Trans Futures Now: A Guide for the Community and Allies to Achieve Acceptance
Author: Milo Stewart
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781642508468
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
After decades of sharing advice on how to best fit into a world not made for people with our bodies and identities, the transgender community has reached a position where we can--nay, need--to imagine a world in the not-too-far-off future where trans people don't need to strategically frame our experiences to achieve acceptance. One may dare to say the ability for trans people to fully secure our rights and liberation is dependent on us living our authentic lives and carving out spaces for our futures. While laying a foundation of the ways that the movement for trans rights has yet to allow trans and nonbinary people to live with freedom, this book provides an intersectional framework with which to structure the future of the trans liberation movement. The overall message tells trans readers that they, too, can find joy and invites all to creatively imagine a world that fully embraces trans lives. Each chapter shares anecdotes from Milo Stewart's personal life, lessons from trans history and interviews with gender creatives of all identities. Topics vary from how to care for our trans siblings in community, how trans and nonbinary people are transitioning outside of the mold, to how to be in solidarity with intersex justice and gender creative communities globally, and how to achieve trans liberation. Each chapter builds upon a component of what trans freedom looks like in one's personal life and in the rights that we demand. Young trans people can read to see that "Yes, you will find love and community even if you want surgery but not hormones," and trans people who have been forced to advocate for their rights can find inspiration on ways that the movement can progress forward.
