Explore the complex landscape of gender and inequality in India through this insightful ethnography. Uncover how the rise of trans women and traditional Hijras intersects with social change and patriarchal histories. Liz Mount’s vital feminist analysis reveals how new gender identities can unintentionally reinforce old inequalities, marginalizing the Hijra community despite evolving LGBTQ+ advocacy. Essential for students, researchers, and anyone interested in Indian gender studies, this book offers a critical look at progress, exclusion, and the remaking of social hierarchies in contemporary India.
