{"product_id":"among-the-eunuchs-leyla-jagiella-9781787383876","title":"Among the Eunuchs: A Muslim Transgender Journey","description":"From an early age, Leyla Jagiella knew that she would be defined by two things: being Muslim and being trans. Struggling to negotiate these identities in her conservative, small hometown, she travelled to India and Pakistan, where her life was changed by her time among third-gender communities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKnown as hijras in India, khwajasaras in Pakistan, these marginal communities have traditionally been politically and culturally important, respected for their supernatural powers to bless or curse, and often serving as eunuchs in Mughal India's palaces. But under British colonialism, the hijras were criminalised and persecuted, entrenching taboos they still battle today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmong the Eunuchs\u003c\/em\u003e reveals vastly varied interpretations of religion, gender and sexuality, illuminating how deeply culture informs our experiences. As identity becomes an ideological battlefield, Jagiella complicates binaries and dogma with her rich personal reflections. Her fascinating journey speaks to all who find themselves juggling different kinds of belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leyla Jagiella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1787383873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787383876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.89w x 1.16d","brand":"Leyla Jagiella","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043696537855,"sku":"9781787383876","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b82f26e-5979-493c-aef1-44f0f5d1dee8.jpg?v=1684968625","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/among-the-eunuchs-leyla-jagiella-9781787383876","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
